Where could a kanigit find the necessary contact info or info for people that we really need to persuade?

I have a petition form that I have been circulating all over the state. I would be glad to provide it to anyone who wants it. I also have a comprehensive list of the House of Reps and the Senate. The Senate list shows how everyone voted on SB 418. The House list has a forecast of how they will vote but is probably not very accurate as this info came from several conflicting sources. It also indicates who committee members are. In addition, I have a letter to the Governor that anyone can use if they want it. She is the true obstacle in all of this. I believe it will take a true grassroots effort that overwhelms the Governor to get her to sign the bill. We have a veto override in the Senate but maybe not in the House. I think someone mentioned or suggested in a post that we go to her office. Anyone up for a rally? I can be contacted via email or you can call me at (913) 522-4765.

I have been working with Representative Candy Ruff and we have a gentleman who has been a victim of violent crime who is going to testify at the House Committee Hearing on March 2nd. We also had a female lined up but she is unable to take time from her job to be there. Does anyone out there know of any female who is pro CCW and has been a victim of a violent crime, stalking, rape, assault, etc who would be willing to tell her story at the hearing. It would be even more effective if she lives in an area such as Wyandotte County that is anti CCW. If so, please let me know right away. Thanks!

House Federal & State Affairs Committee

I am the person who will be testifying next week. I really hope that you can make this important meeting. I am just telling what happened to our family when you try to do something right. Hope to see you there. Steve48

Rep. Candy Ruff just called me and I will be testifying at the House Federal and State Affairs Committee hearing this Thursday. I will be testifying on the behalf of females who have taken my classes because they have been victims of crime. If anyone has any suggestions or input I'm certainly open to it. Please say a prayer for me that I will be able to say the right things and help make a difference so we can get CCW passed in Kansas once and for all!

Good luck at the hearing today, folks. Ad astra per aspera plus Sebelius

So if everything goes well, when will the law take effect?

 

[Zundfolge]

Anyone have a link to the final draft that went to Heir Governess?

Earlier versions looked real good (including what appeared to be instant reciprocity with pretty much every other state), but I imagine lots of crap got added to it.

excellent!


So it doesn't look too bad (no church or bar carry, which is silly, but at least the didn't forbid banks like Nebraska is going to and you can carry in a restaurant that serves alcohol).

Looks like the instant reciprocity thing is still in there (although a mechanism has been added to give the AG the option of not reciprocating with a state with lower CCW standards ... Thankfully I hear the current AG is pretty pro-gun).



Overall it looks better than Nebraska's bill, but no where as good as Colorado (but then again, most states even with Shall Issue aren't as good as Colorado).
