Personally I believe that most of us are fully behind Charles and Alice and truly appreciate the work they do for us as members of the TSRA. With the years of experience they have navigating the State House and getting things done one step at a time they have proven to be effective in representing the majority of the TSRA members.

The positioning of Bills and getting support is not easy, getting them through and out of commitee is even more difficult. It makes no sense to me to file a Bill that will be stalled and die in a black hole because it does not have the proper level of support. What we want and what the politicians want are typically 2 different things, timing, positioning and putting in the time to gain support are major efforts.Let's try to get Campus Carry and the Parking Lot Bill done then we can look down the road.

My concern with OC is that if it did get passed how many new business would then post 30.06 signs? I believe that many more than today, the anti's would have a field day going after businesses to post their locations and if they become successful what exactly was accomplished? Is it not possible that by having OC we could actually lose rights as to where we can carry today by having many more place posting their buildings? To be honest I initially signed the OC.org petition, if there was a mechanism to retract my support I would do so, I know others that would do it as well.
