A big thank you to the AGs in these states:

Wyoming, Alabama, Alaska, Arizona, Arkansas, Florida, Georgia, Kansas, Kentucky, Louisiana, Michigan, Missouri, Nebraska, New Mexico, Ohio, Oklahoma, South Carolina, South Dakota and West Virginia


Later today my birthday present to myself will be to write each AG and Governor an email thanking them.

For others interested, by simplying typing <State Name> <Governor> (or <Attorney General
>) it is very easy to get to the contact form or email for the 19 states.

It took me 1 hr 15 mins. Here is what I sent:

Dear

I am writing this brief message just to say Thank You for the recent decision to join the coalition supporting the challenge to New Jersey’s concealed carry laws. As a citizen of New Jersey myself, my family, and my friends are all affected by these infringing laws and I am ever reminded of America’s greatness when I see states like yours helping even though there are no immediate (though possibly long-term) impacts on your own state.

Thank you very much for your support.

The following exceptions do not have an email address or contact form available, finished thanking all of the others: New Mexico Attorney General, Oklahoma Gov and Attorney General, West Virginia AG, Wyoming AG.

Here is the list :

Alabama G AG
Alaska G AG
Arizona G AG
Arkansas G AG
Florida G AG
Georgia G AG
Kansas G AG
Kentucky G AG
Louisiana G AG
Michigan G AG
Missouri G AG
Nebraska G AG
New Mexico G n/a
Ohio G AG
Oklahoma n/a n/a
South Carolina G AG

Let's see if they all file briefs in the coming SCOTUS case appealing the 9th Circuit in California CCW.

Anything that can be done to help us here in no mans lands is welcome news. For a long time most of us here in the garden state have felt forlorn, and forgotten. Could this be a ray of sunlight, shining thru the black cloud of unconstitutionality that hangs over us in this state??

I am sorry to admit my state is turning blue as we speak. I watched the citizens happily vote for a Gov, L.GOV and AG that are for NY style gun laws. The GOV stated he was fine with being given an F by the NRA.

I wrote both my AG and my Governor today (Alaska). I'm going to write the others tomorrow (will need to draft a different letter). I can't do much for NJ from way up here, but I can certainly do this.

By the way, I'm surprised that Texas isn't on the list...? Those folks may need a little 'prodding' from their constituents...

Ngnrd, I am hanging my head in shame.

There's a number of states seem strangely quiet on this, don't know why.

I am SO glad I sent an email thanking all those AGs and Governors. None of them responded however.

Any more info on why the AG's in other states didn't sign? Or the wording of the actual petition?
