I see that as a good thing for us. If most people think it has already passed they will pay little attention in 2013 when we are able to pass it with little or no exceptions. Especially since the media should be reporting on the Constitutional Carry bill that will "allow criminals to carry atomic ray guns and wave machine guns around elementary school rooms". If we go all out we will see all t hese little privilege based bills pass in my opinion.
I definitely agree that if the general public assumes it's already passed, there may not be as much shock and resistance next time. . . let's just pray that no less-than-attentive CHLers get busted because their buddy told them he saw it on the news that it's legal to carry to class now. We certainly don't need that kind of publicity.
