There is support for a bill that will pass. Many of us want to see an imperfect 'shall-issue' bill pass rather than see a perfect 'shall-issue' bill die.

I understand and support the desire to have HR 1292 but I prefer the other to nothing. A bill that can pass and be signed will have to have some form of training requirement.

But to have vile garbage about the NRA supposedly supporting a bill because of the benefit to NRA instructors is playing into the hands of the opponents. Its time for growing up people.

Remember that it was the NRA whose previous position was that the .357 magnum was a handgun far too powerful to ever be offered to American civilian shooters.

In case you are not aware, Colorado already has a CCW law on the books that is better than 1410. All it would take is for one word to change (May to Shall). Why are they trying to pass more legislation?

Further more have you actually read the bills or are you basing your beliefs on sound bites?

I have read and studied the bills. As a CCW permit holder, I and the thousands of other permit holders lose if 1410 passes. We will have to once more ask the government if we can practice a God given right. We have already spent money on applications and will be forced to spend even more if this passes. For what? The all ready know more about me than they need to.

I have nothing against the NRA if they would stick to what they started out as. Training and firearm safety. I am sick and tired of any and everyone bartering with our rights as though they were a comodity like pork bellies.

Just for the record, my wife and I are members of the NRA. Does being a member mean that I can no longer think for myself? This smacks of the unions taking dues and supporting political positions whether or not you want them to voice their opinion using your money.
