This morning the Colorado Senate took up 3rd reading on Senate Bill 34, which is an attack on Colorado's concealed carry
and reciprocity system.
Earlier in the week GOP Sens. Jack Taylor and Ken Kester stabbed gun owners in the back by voting with anti-gun Dems to
remove the pro-gun language added by Brophy and Schultheis.
This morning, Kester and Taylor took their backstabbing to another level in voting against gun owners again on that
amendment and then voting directly FOR passage of SB34.
Sen. Greg Brophy offered the amendment to strike all the language in the bill and replace it with "Recognition" language,
which would mean Colorado would recognize any valid permit from any state in the nation.
Brophy's amendment failed, with Dem Sens. Hagedorn, Taylor and Tochtrop voting against their party and with gun owners, and
Kester and Taylor joining the anti-gun side.
The Senate then voted to send the bill to the House.
We'll have a chance to kill this vile bill in the House, so standby to apply pressure there.
