[GLOCKMEISTER]

that bill needs tweaking if we want it to pass... it was very questionable that we had the votes.

[steamnsteel]

Sounds like it will fail due to misunderstanding.

April 1st just got a request from Watson for W&M to be heard on any gun related bills.

[Machman]

whats happened with the restaurant carry bill?

Well, it's on the calendar for 3/23/09, but with their recess being called until 4pm on Monday, I don't know if that means they'll vote on it then or ??

Or was that note about the gun bills being heard on 4/1 inclusive?

[Guest db99wj]

Great that the loaded long gun passed, not that it was a major deal for me, but glad it passed anyway.

Only if restaurant carry could pass, this one effects me the most. I know, me me me me...

If people carried a little more "me, me, me" attitude in this country I think it would be a much better place. Too many worried about "everyone else" trying to make legislation for "everyone else" which in turn really don't help anyone. There are certainly some exceptions but for the most part what's good for one is good for all.

[Guest FroggyOne2]

It depends on where the "me" attitude is being applied.. me is a team player.

[Guest slim]

I am glad were making progress, but the 2 that are most imp. rest. and park carry unfortunately keep being put off.

Does anybody know how many for and against on each of these, since i wonder if either will make it!

[Guest jth_3s]

Does anybody know the exact meaning of the bill that passed enhancing the castle doctrine? I read the amendment to the bill and it doesnt look like it does anything.

[dunndw]

What was the story W/ Ben West?

39-11-614 says you can not use deadly force to protect property. So if you were in a situation where you were proctecting your life and maybe also your property (carjacking) an over zealous DA could charge you with using deadly force for protecting proprety, even though you were also in a self-defense situation. The bill prevents a DA from being able to charge for using deadly force while protecting property if you are using deadly force as would otherwise be allowed by law...(self-defense)
