Word it that the NRA is sending in Wayne LaPierre (NRA's EVP) to lobby the GA Legis personally. For them do to that speaks volumes about how they feel about this bill. I also heard that he will be meeting with the "216 Policy Group" which is a bunch of staunch conservative Republican state lawmakers. I can't wait to see how they vote on this.

I'm all for the 2nd Amendment, but do we really need a bill to let people bring their gun to work and then hold the employer liable for any crimes? That makes no sense! AMEN BROTHER!

Transportation is a MAJOR issue. Take a look at what the European countries have started doing. For example Norway and Sweden, whenever a road is built they look at the ways they can save energy not only by building the road but also by the cars and trucks that use the road. They have been working on a plan to "hotwire" the static electricity that each wheel of a car or truck or bike gives off and wire it into their power grid. THAT IS THE KIND OF THINKING THAT WE NEED TO BE DOING HERE!!! I agree. Transportation is a MAJOR issue. Take a look at what the European countries have started doing.

Jeez, its always overblown like that. What I, as a genuine supporter of the 2d Amendment, would like to be able to do is carry my concealed weapon legally in all areas, because I don't know when or where a need for it will occur. Once I am properly liscened to carry, why should there be any restrictions? Truly, the stats show that we CCW holders do not commit crimes with firearms, ever. We are the most trustworhty citizens around, but no one will trust us. Go figure. No one is demanding that anyone take a gun to work. Jeez, its always overblown like that.
