List your highest priority issue for 2011

[Charles L. Cotton]

You can only answer one, so make it your most important!

Charles, can you define Range Protection?

I'm like 51/49 - Campus Carry/EPL

Teamless - IIRC Range Pro refers to legislation protecting existing ranges from new muni ordinances that would put them out of business, esp regarding noise issues. I could be wrong.

While I support Campus Carry, my concern is for a Employer Parking Lot bill. With the schedule I work, employer rules and regulations leave me unable to carry >27% of the time.

[Crossfire]

I am torn between campus carry and employer parking lots, as they are both very important to me.

If I vote employer parking lots, does that cover school employees?

[Oldgringo]

I'd really like to see a balanced budget with lower school and property taxes.

I voted employer parking lots.

There are countless posts here about folks who do not carry a majority of the time because they cannot carry at work and are not allowed to have guns in their cars while on employer parking lots.

I personally believe that your car is your own private property and employers shouldn't be able to restrict the contents.

Parking lot carry is by a wide margin my highest concern.

Currently, for the most part I can only carry two days a week. I want to be able to carry every day. I want to be protected on my way to and from work.

[C-dub]

A parking lot law is going to be the most important thing to me. Campus Carry will be next since I will have several nieces and nephews graduating over the next few years. Otherwise, I doubt I will be on a college campus for anything else. The range I visit the most is indoors and while OC might be nice in certain circumstances I'm just not sure I would do it yet.

I'm like 85/whatever is left - Campus Carry/EPL

Because ......... I'm retired, but intend to go back to skewl (I need to take Math)

[flintknapper]

EPL for me.

Since we are restricted to one choice. Pretty sure I know why.

[Right2Carry]

Employer Parking Lot without a doubt for me. I don't like having to be unarmed to and from work. This is not a choice for me since my employer chooses to post valid 30.06 signs at all entrances to parking lots and entrances to the building. Even though this is my highest priority, I feel getting it passed won't due me a damn bit of good since I work in the defense industry and we all know they will get an exemption .

EPL. Employers really need to get over being concerned what is in an employees car. It makes no differernce. This should apply to school parking lots, every parking lot. What is in my car is my business. It makes no difference if my car is parked on someone else's property. My car is my property.

I'm exactly the same, only the opposite.

The two-percent difference is strictly a selfish one: for the entire time since the CHL law hit the books until 2009, I worked for a company that legally posted its building and private-access parking lot. EPL has a chance to affect me personally; Campus Carry only peripherally.

Having said that, I view Capmus Carry not only as an opportunity to remove the "Gun-Free Zone" label from our colleges, but as an opportunity to expand firearm and Second Amendment knowledge among the 22 to 34 demographic, those who will be our leaders in another generation. Marketing guru J. Walker Smith classifies the broad generation ranges this way, including approximate population numbers: The Matures, born 1909 through 1945, 52 million; The Boomers, born 1946 through 1964, 78 million; The X-ers, born 1965 through 1978, 57 million; and The Echoes, born 1979 through 1990, 51. The earliest "Echoes" have turned 30, and will be running the show come 2030/2040. The youngest are just getting their undergraduate degrees and are starting post-grad education.

Okay; so I take it back. I'm 50.1% for EPL as my number one priority, and 49.9% for Campus Carry.
