By the way if you are a member of USN, the usual suspects Knife forum you can find on on their forum for sale, I have bought many knives with my cove membership their over the years

[Capbyrd]

I am indeed!  Same name over there.  I just haven't seen one of these pop up recently.  I'm going to post a WTB soon.  

I'm currently bidding on a lifetime cove membership in the auction forum.

"Item 3, House Bill 581 by Chairman Dennis.    This has been moved to the hill.  I hope I don't get writ up on the internet for this one."  


I don't know what it means.  But that is what was said.  

[Guest ancient_serpent]

Got my fingers crossed, anyone got any news?

Rec. For Pass. by s/c ref. to Finance, Ways & Means Committee 04/03/2013

 

Have no idea what this means.

[shortround]

Just re-read and watched the clip. They passed it to the full Finance committee. Looks like it is still alive.

Awesome! About to order a Benchmade 2550!

[dcloudy777]

Very cool.  New laws usually go into effect on 1 July, right? 

[Guest ancient_serpent]

So...for the dummies amongst us, what does that mean, the "bill moves out"? Goes to the full finance committee? Just trying to figure out if we won, or it's still in the air.

It means that subcommittee passed it and it moves to a discussion and vote in full committee.  From there, it should go to the House floor and from there to the Governor's desk.

Where that (*)#$% will veto it.

[Guest ancient_serpent]

Oh crap. So, we're basically playing the waiting game until it get's veto'ed by the governor. 

Unless someone knows something I don't, I'm just assuming it has no chance of him approving it.

I wouldn't worry about the Gov.  The majorites in both houses are big enough to override his veto, and he learned that with the "guns in bars" fiasco.

[Guest ancient_serpent]

Sweeeeet. Got a CS Spartan, Gun Sight (the big model, not sure of the name) I'd like to carry and want a Benchmade Auto opener. 

[Guest 270win]

Who pushed for switchblades to still be illegal to carry at schools?  Wasn't it some silly police chiefs group?  What was their reason?  We should have pushed harder to legalize this so that someone can't get charged at a school over a knife.

That was previous Guv, not Haslam.

Does anyone know who said the red part in the quote above?

[Capbyrd]

It was the subcommittee chair, Michael Harrison. 

[Guest ASmartOne]

So, do we need to write the full committee like we did the sub committee?

[Capbyrd]

Certainly does not hurt. It had a few a nay votes today.

[Guest ancient_serpent]

Anyone have a link to all of these folks?
