Just saw the vote on HB80. It failed 23 yea to 50 nay. They're debating HB 141. Hopefully it will meet the same fate.
We had hopes this bill would settle the debate, but after listening to the anti argument, there is no way we are even close to settling this debate and we are probably many years away. It was hopeful that this bill would have put some protection in place for sportman, but even if it had passed, I think it would have offered little protection in the future as the anti HB80 are hell bent on overturning Conatser.
You can bet I will be spending some time and money educating the voters in my area how my representative voted in hopes he does not get re-elected. I just hope there is a candidate running that supports my position.
We haven't wasted our time or energy. We have put into the minds of our representatives that there is a big group of their constituents that care how they vote. Hopefully this will reflect in the defeat of HB141.
Those in the know, keep us posted on when HB141 gets put back on the floor for debate. I'd like to listen.
