Also, I've created a sticky in this forum will all active polls that I know of. Feel free to post any polls you find there as well. We need to keep public opinion positive on this one!
I find it interesting that this poll's question is :

"Would you feel safer at work if you knew more people had easy access to a handgun?"

No mention of CHL, no mention of qualifications, etc.....

..unrelated to the subject at hand, but I've got to imagine that federal government would operate so much more smoothly and less "crappy" legislation (pork-barrel politics) would occur if this were eliminated and the feds were required to stick to one subject per bill, just as the states are.

Front page news at the Houston Chronicle

This news was front page material for the Houston Chronicle today :

http://www.chron.com/disp/story.mpl/front/4763469.html

They even got the "banned places" list correct :

"Current law prohibits the carrying of firearms, even by handgun licensees, into bars, schools, most areas of college campuses and courthouses. Churches can ban them, and governmental bodies can prohibit licensees from carrying pistols into public meetings."

Pretty good article, overall, and it's good to see the issue getting attention!
