I had a card posted on my fridge about that event, but was unable to attend because we had a regular dinner party that we host which met last night.RoyGBiv wrote:I attended a town hall last night with my local State House Rep. Giovanni Capriglione is also the sponsor of HB 706 (campus carry). He reported that HB 706 was successfully voted out of committee on Thursday with a 7-1 vote (per the story linked in the OP).
I don't see that reflected in the record yet, but can't imagine he would report that incorrectly.
He also told the crowd that he felt good about the bills passage the rest of the way.

Also notable was the over-capacity crowd (standing room only) at 6:PM on a beautiful spring Friday evening.
What was your impression of Capriglione? I haven't had a chance to meet him yet.
