Amendment 6 voted down 121 to 12.

[KC5AV]

Amendment #6 to lower the age of CC from 21 to 18.

Schaefer not supporting.

While there are merits in the argument, it sounds like this is one of those places where you go for what you think will pass vs an ideal. I suspect this amendment would be a poison pill. Let's get constitutional carry passed. Then it can be improved where needed like CHL was.

I wish Cason would have pulled the amendment and worked with Schaefer.

Exactly what I was thinking - they make a great case for moving the voting age back to 21.
