Yes, but the State Democratic establishment knows that Doyle is very vulnurable, maybe (a long shot) even facing a federal indictment over "Pay for Play" issues with state contracts.
That's why key members of the legislature like Zien and Reynolds are facing funding battles and resistance like they haven't before. Hopefuly it's just money that'll be wasted by the other side...
If Green get's the governorship, and pro-RKBA holds 51% in both houses, I eagerly await what I call the "REVENGE BILL".
(a.k.a. "Lefties, you shoulda passed the PPA when you had the chance, bill.")
Some of my ideas:
- Texas "30.06" style sinage (size and font requirments) required to bar carry from any public establishment. And it has to be on EVERY public enterance. And even then, the sign ONLY has the force of "treaspass law". (i.e. we can ask you to leave, and that's it.) Like other "weak sign" states. That way we get the best of both worlds. Maximum deterrent to posting sinage, and minimum repercussions to flouting them.
- All other forbidden areas, like police stations, jails, courtrooms, state/city/county-owned airports have to provide secure storage for CCW holders at the entrance or security checkpoint to the secure area.
- No alcohol premise or consumption rules, other than the BAC of .08% that's the same as a DUI/OWI for driving. (How many FPE in a car, vs. a .45ACP?) If there must be a acohol/premise rule, it has to be the 51% rule, and you can still be in the dining area.
- No other "nuisance" or special-interest exceptions, like hospitals, day care, schools, seinor centers, women's shelters, etc. etc. etc. They can post the big, ugly "Texas Sign" if they wish, and get the same "treaspass" level of protection as every other weenie.
- Let's build FL-style castle doctrine/no retreat right into the darn bill!
- Employer restraint. Legal car carry/storage in private employee cars when in or on employer lots no matter what company policy says. Even better, NO liability shield, for when employed CCW holders who are injured/killed in violent crime on company property, or carrying out company duties, and weren't carrying due to company policy.
Can we think of any more?
