A few hours of class time is insignificant compared to not being able to carry many of the places we most need to carry. If the best we get is class reduction and "opt out" rubbish, then the best the legislators should get is a B- grade. Maybe C+

Care to explain why 972 is rubbish? It's the same bill that we almost passed in 2011. It de-criminalizes carry on university property and prohibits public universities from establishing any rules to restrict concealed carry. Private universities can adopt rules against carry, but only after consulting with students, law enforcement, faculty, etc. and such rules must be renewed every year. This is a huge step forward. Sure, we're all disappointed at the lack of progress on 700 and 3218, but that's no reason to dismiss 972.

I just started watching.

465, 508, and 698 passed from what I watched so far.

Are you meaning HB485? I don't think I have read up on 465?

HB 465 Relating to requirements to vote, including presenting proof of identification; providing criminal penalties.

HB 698 Relating to certain procedures for submitting legible and classifiable fingerprints with an application for a license to carry a concealed handgun.

HB 508 Relating to certain offenses relating to carrying concealed handguns on property owned or leased by a governmental entity; providing a civil penalty.

Yeah I meant 485 that was a typo. 972 just passed but with opt out intact.
