Also:* = HB1185 - concerns confiscated property, and selling it. [I've
read it once, and nothing jumped out at me, but I'll read it again.]
* - HB1314 - requires background checks at gunshows. From Jim
Lendall. Sounds DOA already, but we'll certainly check into it. [A
Representative dropped us an e-mail to let us know about it. That was
very nice, especially considering how busy these guys are. And I can
assure you of one thing, it was due to the efforts of this group to
garner the respect you deserve. Thanks to your efforts, we're gaining
respect and recognition.]
* - HB76 - Allows Judges to carry anywhere they like WITH OUT a
permit. (You know, judges are SPECIAL folk.)
* + SB69 - Allows active duty military to renew their carry permits
without the shooting requirement. (May be hard to find an Arkansas
certified instructor in Afghanistan. Hmmmm...wonder if we can arrange
reciprical agreements with Iraq?)
* - SB155 - Allows current and former police officers to carry
everyplace a regular citizen can't. (If you're an ex-cop, aren't you a
regular citizen again? You know, cops are SPECIAL folk.)
* OUR BILL TO BE FILED...TOMORROW?! It hasn't been filed bacause
we're still picking up co-sponsors. 6 today I'm told.
Good luck to us. I'm hoping this session will be the best ever.
