Informative. Thanks for posting.
Sure as sh!t hasn’t been ‘cuz of the (faux-pro-2nd-A) NRA
GOA & the like have been the driving forces pushing these kinds of change(s) to uphold/restore 2nd A. Rights across the board.
Hey lefties - let’s hear about all those mass killings in parking lots over parking spaces that you claimed would happen once conceal carry became legal.
Larry Householder was the deciding factor.
He was convinced to spend the political capital as Speaker to override Taft’s Ohio Highway Patrol consent demand.
Most of that convincing happened at a Perry County Republican Party Ox Roast in a Somerset Ohio park.
Larry showed up having already decided to not push CCW again that year due to Taft’s opposition.
He was met by a stacked crowd of dozens of activists called in from all over the state “acting” as local constituents.
They then proceeded to ask about nothing but CCW during the 2 hour buffet BBQ stand about.
Since the whole turnout was 100+/-, Larry interpreted that as a groundswell and he was playing toward a Governor’s run one day.
Larry though his constituents, not activists, were there that day....it was a beautiful “false flag operation”
Larry’s “straw bales on a hay wagon” stump speech after dinner.....opened with “This year we will have a CCW law in Ohio.”
And we did.
Now Larry, Ohio’s Bill Clinton, is in jail for being....well, Larry.
Myself, I have been a Forrest Gump most of my life...around historical events and figures but never one myself....I know much of how history says things happened....and WHY they really happened....are almost always different.
History is more an after the fact conspiracy theory than a fact to be “checked”.
But, that is just my opinion and WTF do I know.
