Wallace11bravo, as bullit noted, I would agree re Tim Clare. I had been thinking of contacting Tim Clare if I was going to contact any Regent at all (I am not a fan of pi$$ing in the wind....been there, done that enough in my life and career) only because he had campaigned somewhat in my neighborhood when he was running for the Regent position.  He and I had an opportunity to chat at that time, and he seemed to be a straight shooter (no pun intended). If there would be a mutual time of visiting with him on this particular issue and if you would like to have a faculty member tag along for whatever that is worth (and it may be nothing), I would be happy to do so....but please feel free to just go ahead....please let me know what he says.

Oh, I'm not giving up. Enough people are opposed to the ACHP idea here, and I have no interest in pi$$ing off the rest of the firearms community to reach my goals. What Dan mentioned, the bill being used to enhance restrictions for regular CHP applicants, does not seem too far fetched, and has done quite a bit to scare me away from the idea too.

I'll try to contact Tim Clare, and gain his input. We're a good minute from the next legislative session, so there is time to get the ducks in order.

Looks like 3 Regents are leaving and a 4th is up for election this year?   That is a lot of potential turnover.

I agree with Dan W. We don't want to give the anti's any more ideas to use against us. If someone mentions psychological testing to them they will run with it and try to put that as a requirement for all of us. We don't want to go there. I don't even think police officers are required to do that. Correct me if I'm wrong.

Wallace11bravo: I think the best thing for us all to do is hold our horses. Andy Allen is trying to come up with a plan to throw out 1-3 liberal members on the judiciary committee. THAT IS THE KEY!
The root here is the fact that the legislature votes the senators to each committee. Senators run to be placed on a committee. All we have to do is figure out how to get the conservative legislature to realize that WE HAVE BEEN STABBED IN THE BACK time and time again by the liberal members on that committee and that they do not deserve to be put back on it.
Once we have the actual proportional balance of power restored to that committee it will be the conservatives in charge.

Once we have accomplished this virtually nothing will stop our pro gun efforts. I almost guarantee you most of our goals will sail through the committee and will be passed relatively with ease through the full legislature. From what I've learned all these years watching the legislature is this: What the committee says goes. The body seems to put a lot of trust behind the decisions of the committees and usually tend to go with them unless there is some kind of huge controversy.

Does this mean we will get CCW on campus right away. Probably not, but I'm pretty confident in our ability to pass LB 785 style legislation (employer parking lot firearms in cars protection bill) along with full Castle Doctrine and Stand Your Ground and FULL Civil Liability shield. I would definitely see the county attorney CCW with no restrictions bill pass and further improvements on CCW including SIGNAGE REFORM (Uniform Signage of last years LB 88 & reduction of signage violation to petty Class 4 Misdemeanor which would only be a $50 fine and not a firearms offense)

So just hold your horses. We should only consider the ACHP as a last resort if we cannot change the makeup of the judiciary committee. But I think we can and will change the makeup of that committee. Plus their term limits are coming up. We may be rid of Ashford and Lathrop sooner than we know it.

What's up with wanting CHP carriers to have 2 years of normal CHP before being allowed to carry on campus? I don't know about you but that is worthless to the vast majority of students. I just turned 21 and I'm almost done with my Junior year, I will be graduated by the time I have been carrying for 2 years. One thing is for certain I wouldn't support such a strict legislation.
