NE Bull:
Perhaps the most interesting thing about this article is the difference in the responses/comments on the OWH website as compared to the comments on their Facebook page.  Very telling of their subscribers / readership.
Of course some YayHoo keeps jumping in with facts and common sense and screwing up their little utopia. ;)

bullit:
Keep in mind the OWH hates Bo Pelini too

I understand that legislation is a delicate balance, but this seems like good intentions with poor execution. Though, I will admit I'm a little ignorant about what it takes to push something like this through the unicameral, so here's some things I would be interested in knowing:

1) What is keeping us from getting the current concealed carry laws expanded to include school zones? Are we just missing enough "friends" in the legislature? Is it a matter of an uneducated populous?

2) If we support this piece of legislation (with all of the extra requirements and rules in place); in an effort to "give a little to get a little," I would like to see a long-term strategy laid out somewhere that shows how and when we plan to get what we gave, back. My point being: "compromise" when it comes to 2nd amendment issues is always a one-way street. We give, and then they come back and want more. What do we get? More rules and laws that limit and erode our rights. Calling that a "compromise" is a misnomer at best.

Anyway, I like that someone is taking some action on this issue in the legislature. The teachers and principal at my kids' school are all extremely dedicated and I have no doubt they would protect the kids any way they could. I'm a fan of giving them the right tools. I'd just like to do it in a way that doesn't "compromise" anything else.

Found this some good reading. Don't know if you have seen this or not. FWIW.

RedDot:
I doubt OPS would ever go for this as being a CHP holder requires a sense of judgment which contradicts their insistence of policy being followed over any sort of judgment.
