mauserme Posted November 8, 2017 at 03:31 AM Author Share Posted November 8, 2017 at 03:31 AM .From a Second Amendment point of view, the legislature yesterday was more noteworthy for what did not happen than for what did.Though still on the calendar and eligible for a vote, SB1657 Gun Dealer Licensing was very much dependant upon adoption and passage of Senate Amendment 1 to SB333. This latter combination would have created a trailer bill to gun dealer licensing, watering it down enough to possibly add a couple votes. They say timing is everything and, in this case, they are right. Passage of the trailer bill would have had to take place yesterday in order to have a path through both bodies before the end of the Veto Session. With that possibility gone, and the potential that Thursday's House session will be cancelled, there's really no path forward for the trailer bill at this time, other than a symbolic vote in the Senate.This doesn't necessarily mean we're out of the woods just yet, however. Proponents of dealer licensing are working feverishly to add a few votes even without the trailer bill. We will be watchful, and ask that you continue to contact your State Representatives reminding them to vote against SB1657.The House is scheduled for 12:30 PM tomorrow; the Senate for 12:00 Noon.Next Days ScheduledHouse: 11/9/2017 1/23/2018Senate: 11/9/2017House Calendar House Supplemental Calendar 1 Senate Calendar Senate Supplemental Calendar 1 House Supplemental Calendar 2..technical Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Peaceful just referred to ICHV bus.Digging failed to find anything about a (ICHV) bus meet point, neither website or facebook. NOTHING about a bus at all. until proven otherwise, vaporware.lee goodman delusions or fake news. If they defaulted to ICHV HQ (and phone only communications) , all them grabbers gotta get into the loop and perhaps pay the ruinous loop parking rates. Makes me smile..... edit: found itMom's facebook shows very recent picture posts of "Advocacy Day" to try to pass SB1657. Pictures show carpoolers, and a 55 passenger tour bus interior. Seems this is a Mom's event/push. Can't say how many that they have, but I counted 20 red shirts - and a capitol 1st floor hall gathering of people at a table. Generously - about 50...

DonP Posted November 8, 2017 at 06:41 PM Share Posted November 8, 2017 at 06:41 PM Saw an interview on, I think channel 2 at 10PM last night with Kotowski. He puked up all the usual stuff and lied through his false teeth with all the usual vague pablum; "Common Sense", "These stores need regulation for the safety of our children". When the news person asked, "But aren't they already regulated by the Federal Government and BATFE?" Kotoski's answer, after stuttering for a bit, was; "Well, they need more regulation" Freakin' brilliant spokesweasel. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
