Maybe now he has a financial interest in killing OC at every opportunity.

Maybe "As a CHL instructor, I conduct the required classes, and I can tell you FIRST HAND that the training is not sufficient to allow people to do _______!"?

Now that everyone's jumped in with their suppositions, I'll merely add that though I didn't have a long drawn-out conversation with the man, what I heard him say to others, and what he said to me, would make me think that he's definitely not an anti in any way, shape, form, or fashion. I didn't hear anyone bring up partisan politics with the representative, so everyone's political mileage may vary, depending on where in the road you stand.


And, for what it's worth, when I mentioned I was going to post the picture on Charles Cotton's CHL Forum, he did kinda chuckle a bit. :smilelol5:

Because you met him and he didn't say anything negative regarding guns, that overrides his actions of not letting the legislature vote on the pro gun bills?

I'm not that easily influenced.

:iagree: Talks is cheap.

Maybe he did come over from the dark side but I keep thinking about the HCI shill who had a FFL.
I sincerely apologize to anybody I offended by suggesting the Second Amendment also applies to The People who don't work for the government.
