Do you know what killed our chances at open carry this session? Over zealous, DISRESPECTFUL, and emotion filled comments sent to our legislator. Our opposition is strong and hold key positions.
I have to disagree with you on this. What killed open carry, as well as pretty much any other piece of decent firearms legislation that sat on desks until too late, is that Speaker Strauss has his own agenda and Pickett and the rest don't have what it takes to stand up to him and think for themselves. Strauss told them to sit on the 'controversial' bills in committee until too late, even though it could be shown that they easily had enough votes to pass, because Strauss is playing both sides of the aisle.
