The after the election legislation has started

[tc]

Basically the after
the election legislation has started.

One of the new govenor's high priority projects has been introduces as
SB07-034. It modifies CCW legislation so that reciprocity will only
be valid for residents of the state that issued the permit. This
means that folks here that carry on permits from other states (most of
my friends are either Utah or Florida) will need other options.

[7idl]

why the hell should it matter where someone got their ccw?

they passed the required background checks and more.

stupid f'n politicians.

of course I know that by saying it here, it's like preachin' to the choir!

One step at a time...
A foot in the door first...
Ransack the house later...
One beach head at a time...l
Invade the Capital later...

They are hoping we won't see them coming...

Yup,
Dems are already starting. BUT, here is a blurb from my RMGO update.
"On a brighter note, State Rep. Cory Gardner and Sen. Ted Harvey are sponsors of the "Stand Your Ground" bill, which would strengthen Colorado's Make My Day law.

If you want to track legislation, simply go to our 2007 Billwatch page at:

If you guys aren't already members, go to the RMGO web page and join. Dudley is a really good guy too, I've talked with him on a couple of occasions.

Hey PPP, I have a copy of that book coming too.

Hey PPP, I have a copy of that book coming too.Ritter will veto that bill if it passes - which it won't. As a DA he opposed the original "Make my Day" law.

Dudley is a nice guy alright, but sometimes it seems that he spends as much time bagging on the NRA as he does fighting the gun grabbers. While I agree that the NRA deserves most, if not all of his ire, it serves little purpose to argue amongst ourselves on this matter while the Dems are fixing to burn Rome.

Folks, we're screwed.

Looks like its time to move from here, maybe Texas or Florida or maybe
Alaska.

[cedrick]

yea those are great places to move but the dems are going to try it on a fed level and it wont matter where ya live. unfortchanatly I think the only thing that would wake these people up would be an ugly RED DAWN scenerio of course they would try to use it for there advantage as well . ya cant teach stupid.

Or Wyoming.

Personally, I'd prefer WY to AK any day.

Who would we contact if we were to "remind" our elected officials who they really represent? I've actually never done anything like that before, so I don't know where to start.

Simple. [wink]

[7idl]

not only who they represent but what it is they're sworn to uphold.

an elected/sworn position is not a 'free-ticket', it's a responsibility.

Time we held people to it.

Or someone could fedex out alot of masks and capes...

[jvandenhaus]

Maybe instead of fighting the Democrats as anti-firearm, we could get Democrat shooters on our side...providing that there were any other Democrat shooters.

Oh, and as another note, having moved from Texas, its hardly a CCW Mecca. Its so bloody hot there you can't wear enough clothing in the summer (which lasts from March to October) to conceal a firearm.

I will now return to shopping for my CCW class.

Use that, write them and remind them who they work for, and it ain't that Fargin' Ice Hole Ritter!

Here is what I just sent to Sen. Nancy Spence (R-CO 27th)

I am writing to you with the simple intent of asking that you, as my representative, as the representative for many Colorado gun owners, please take a long and hard look at this potential legislation (SB07-034). While we at this time are not convinced that this will make it out of committee, we would ask that you do all in your power to stop this first step towards more useless gun control, blatant suppression of our constitutional rights in Colorado.

Myself and many thousands of gun owners like me are increasingly concerned that our new Governor is entirely too intent on curbing our Federal Second Amendment rights, much less our State Constitutional rights.

In closing again I ask that you keep in mind during your term that there is a significant number of gun owners and enthusiast in your district and our great state and that we want and need your help. Be our voice and do not allow anti-gun legislation to infringe upon our freedoms!

We do not want to see you or any other elected official wasting time or energy on curbing our freedoms. Rather we would rather see you take the noble road and strive to improve education, health care and the thousands of other important issues that can help Colorado move forward in the 21st. Century.

Thank you so very much for your service and your time.

And Lo and Behold today I receive a personal response from Senator Spence. Must say that all by itself impressed me.. I know.. strange, a politician actually taking the time to response to a constituent!

Anyway here is her response...

Thank you for writing about your concerns regarding SB 34. Last week I
spoke with Steve Schreiner, the NRA legislative liaison at the capitol about
this bill and at that time, in the form the bill was introduced, he
indicated that the NRA was not likely to support it. His comment was that
the Atty General makes these types of decisions and that is where they
should be made.

Rest assured, in my eight years in the legislature, I have always supported
the 2nd amendment and have voted to protect the rights of Colorado's gun
owners. It's pretty early in the session to know how new legislators will
vote on gun issues and what pressure will be put on them by the Democrat
majority members to follow gun-control-advocate Sen. Ken Gordon in the
senate.

Maybe SB 34 will be a "test case" so we'll have an indication of what will
follow.

Sincerely,

Sen. Nancy Spence

That's pretty friggin' awesome.

Props to her for what seems like an honest answer.
