Time to write your critters: H. R. 47

[MrTuffPaws]

This has to be too good to be true:


Citizens' Self-Defense Act of 2005
http://thomas.loc.gov/cgi-bin/query/z?c109:H.R.47.IH:

Please write your representatives and ask them to support this bill.

Note it only includes rifles, pistols and shotguns, no NFA weapons.
Its a good start, and Rep Bartlett is a thorn in the side of many antis from Maryland.

Now if it only had an exclusion to civil liability for an action deemed legal under the Act it would be a silver bullet.

 

[duckslayer]

My rep is a co-sponsor, but I'll call to thank him anyway.

 

[Nazirite]

Lets hope the anti-gun dem’s can’t attach any amendments.

 

[Flyboy]

This has been floating around for a couple of months. I wrote up a sample letter (available at http://www.barefootclown.net/writings/letters/hr47 ) and sent it to my rep. Anybody else is free to use that letter, just be sure to substutite the name of your representative (and check to see if your rep is on the Judiciary Committee; if he is, adjust that portion as well).

I mailed a letter to my representative last week. I'm not sure if it will do any good since he is a Democrat but hopefully he'll realize that self-defense is a vital human right.

sent in my GOA postcards yesterday. This is an awesome bill.

Mr. Tuff Paws-

Thank you for an important post.

 

[Bear Gulch]

Question:

Would you take it if the dems attatched another AWB to it?

 

[bamawrx]

No AWB. Period. No negotiations or compromise, it should stay off the table. The so called conservatives have control and should get this done for us. I asked my rep to seek to add the civil liability protection. Now that would be a kick butt bill. We need laws to protect gun manufactures, dealers, and owners.

As a new "citizen" OF NYS I'm not even able to apply for a permit to have a handgun in my house for four more months. Then I can expect a delay of 6 months to get a permit to have a handgun in my house.

Frankly I'm concerned that I may not be able to get all the signatures I need to obtain such a permit.

Dispite the fact that I do have a shotgun this law looks to me like a chance to attack NYS's permit to posses handgun law.

Please, please, please.....
