Open Letter: HB1414 Open Carry

[loslosbaby]

I just sent this to my state rep, Doctor Renegar:


Doctor Renegar!

Thanks much for your continued public service, we do appreciate you, and I thought in particular helping Chris Ford get an exception back when he was Sheriff was a super smart move, and we in Latimer County appreciate it.

I'm contacting you about HB1414, the "Open Carry" law.

I urge you to support this law, as there are many situations where open carry is appropriate, prudent and smart.

Carrying unloaded firearms produces its own risks!

Normal day-to-day situations including handling cash on the way to a bank puts normal people including business owners (but sometimes their employees!) in a situation where they are performing the duties of an unpaid, untrained security guard.

Open, visible, and clear carry is a deterrence factor.

We appreciate your service, and we all know you have a lot on your plate!

FIVE minutes later... Doctor-Representative Renegar said:

"I will be in full support of hb1414! I just try to do what's right, am glad you agree!"

Wow, that's service!

You do know that this bill is no longer current? We will have to start over again next year. Sorry to be a buzz kill, but hope to see all the support again next legislative session.

Look everyone, its the Pahtee Poopah!!

 

[loslosbaby]

Yeah, I know its a no-go, but, the idea is to just get the good ol' carbons out and have the typists type up a new one.

(Maybe they have Wordstar up yonder in the CAP-O-TAIL?)

I know it is a dead issue since HB1414 didn't get to the floor, but I still have a question regarding that bill. The way I read the bill, it DID NOT allow one to actually open carry on one's person. I took it to read that open carry was only good under certain circumstances and in motor vehicles.

Did I miss something in the bill? And, if I did read it right, wouldn't we want our representatives that sponsor another bill to reword a new bill to allow open carry on one's person?

 

[NikatKimber]

Yeah, I hope it makes it through next year too. Just wanted to make sure no one's getting their hopes up for nothing.

Dustin, ... er, nevermind.

After I posted that picture, I had to ad-block it. It's too creepy.
