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.

I have been involved in the CCW issue in Colorado for many years. Unlike you, I don't prefer to see nothing pass - thereby preserving my personal permit - I'd rather see a 'shall issue' bill with some compromises in it get signed into law that would benefit far more people.

The Colorado legislature is not going to adopt a bill that merely changes the present law to 'shall-issue'. If you wish to "think for yourself", then consider that. And you'd do us all a lot of good by saving the NRA bashing for when we are working on NRA elections and focus on pushing for a 'shall issue' bill.
