LB430 UPDATE 5/13/09: LB430 Passes 45-3; thank the Senators
Randy:
In actuality it is not a pod cast but a Live Flash Stream from NE Educational Television.
Here is the web site http://www.netnebraska.org/publicmedia/capitol.html
Finger tapping was a nervous proponent who did a great job speaking.
Jesse T:
Thanks to everybody who came, was great to see a room full of proponents and 3 opponents.
Wymore Wrangler:
The lack of information on this subject is disturbing. As an important issue as this is to all of this on the forum, someone that went should be posting their impressions of the senators, questions asked, etc.. An organization such as this one only grows and becomes powerful if it provides the information to its members in a timely manner, sorry rant mode off...

The way I saw it:
How do I think we did?
Council- She did not even stay in the room to hear testimony by the Pro- side.
Ashford- Like last time, he tried to turn "patchwork" concerns into a transportation issue. He does not like guns, feigns ignorance on the issues at hand and is unwilling to enlighten himself. Willful ignorance = stupidity. RINO.
Latthrop- Lathrop asked decidedly slanted questions of witnesses..... wanting to know how often instructors and CHP holders had to "qualify" ..... seemed to subscribe to the "Only Ones" mindset that Cops were the only ones proffessional enough to use a gun to defend themselves or others.... seemed horrified that "an untrained permit holder" might have anything other than a hymnal to defend himself and his family "in a church with 1,500 people in it". I don't go to such a church. I'm just supposed to think happy thoughts and hope the deranged gunman runs out of bullets before he gets to me and mine? My church usually has 50 souls on an average Sunday....... and why is it that I can defend myself in Church in Colby, but not in Kearny? If this bill passes, I can leave my gun in its holster at Mass in Castle Rock, but must leave it out in the parking lot in Columbus? Why is that?
Coash- Did not say much while I was there....... supposed to be on our side.
Rogert- ? I don't know..... he asked a couple of questions of the "pro" witnesses.
McGill- Looked bored and played with her hair most of the time....... she does not like boomsticks. I have the distinct feeling she would think call them "Icky".
I used the time taken up by the first two bills to drop a note in support of lb430 at Pankonin's office and talk w/ Sen. Ken Schilz about it. He's definitely on our side: One of our "No Guns = No $" cards was on his bulletin board, under a great big GFZ- Criminals Welcome sign ........
I had to leave at 5, so I did not hear the "Against" Witnesses- Marty Conboy (surprise, surprise, surprise.) Chief Cassidy (duh), and some woman from the League of Municipalities.
How's that?

Sorry, I took the day off work yesterday so that I could drive to Lincoln and sit through the whole afternoon of testimonies, and testify myself. The hearing did not get over until 5:30 pm. By the time I drove back home, met my wife for dinner, and got back to the house it was late and I did not feel like typing. I had to get up and be at work early in the morning this morning and now I am faced with the work I missed yesterday and don't even really have time to be typing this.
I apologize for having a job, but I will post my views tonight after work. I'm sorry that the next night after the event is the earliest that I can post something.
