Doubt that. Most of the media are anti-2A and could care less is gun carriers are hassled. They'd feel it was perfectly justified.

The only thing the media would want to expose more would be dirty tactics by cops, a la "stop and frisk".

**edited to add, I don't support the media agenda. I'm just saying it would happen.

But I also don't have a lot of faith in LEOs like Austin's Chief, who would likely make OC a miserable experience for anyone in the city limits, based on some of his commentary. While the exception, he clearly needs to be managed through legislation.

I'm kind of indifferent on the amendment, as it was redundant. I shake my head at Huffines' inability to copy and paste, and I thought it was a bad move to re-introduce it, however, it is there now, and the 80 something co-authors need to step up to the plate. As stated before by others, this bill could and should have been passed long ago if it were a priority. The republicans will need to blame themselves, not Huffines if HB910 goes down in flames.

I really do think it will be fine (knock on wood!), but the fact that we are still waiting and hoping on May 26 is pretty frustrating.

I understand that technically, it need to go back to the house, but according to the internet, it is still headed to the Gov. Do we know for sure? I don't think it will take much time if it goes to the house either way.
