Awesome, thanks! Sounds like we need a full-court press on this one. I'm about to e-mail my state representative, although I know it will do no good because she's an ultra left wing lesbian liberal Democrat social justice warrior type. But she's going to hear from me on this.
Maybe she is a secret member of Pink Pistols.
I hope you're not trying to disparage the Pink Pistols - my husband and I should be the poster boys for why the 51% laws should be repealed after Pulse.

Long story short: if I can be a designated driver and not drink at a bar, why, oh why (Wizard of Oz reference there) can't I also be a designated carrier if I'm not drinking?

Or is our legislature THAT short-sighted?

Nevermind, I think you and they have already answered that question.
Welcome to the forum. Based on your comment, it appears that you support your right to bear arms. I hope that you are not just another "one-post" forum member. If you are a supporter of the 2nd amendment and your right to a self-defense firearm then you will find most on this forum to be welcoming to you and your husband. It's always good to have fresh perspectives such as yours on the self-defense related topics that we discuss here. So long the discourse remains civil, everyone follows the forum rules, and everyone respects each other's right to disagree.

:iagree:

I'm also far more interested in this than eliminating the LTC fees. I'll take both (and CC) of course, but hope we don't use all our chips on the others.

Is HB 560 going to be this session's HB 308, or will last session's HB 308 also be filed? Is one better than the other, or are they similar enough that it doesn't matter?
Both HB308 (2015) and HB560 (2017) are Rep. Springer's bills so I do not expect the see another HB308-type bill filed this session. Remember, HB308 was gutted in committee, so this is the danger we face. We must get massive support for HB560 and that support must translate to calls, faxes and emails to elected officials! Contact every friend, family member and fellow gun owner you know and spread the word. We and TFC may wind up being the only ones pushing hard for this Bill.

Chas.
obviously we are all more than capable of doing our own digging, but it would be nice is TFC or TSRA or NRA could create a really simply form where any visitor could input his or her address and the site would display the names, mailing addresses, phone numbers, and email addresses of all of his or her state legislative representatives along with a standard text to support the bill. That text could be copied and pasted into an email and sent to any or all of the representative email addresses.

The NRA has this feature to send a letter to your US Senators and US Representative.

Maybe something like this exists, and I am just not aware of it.
