This is a bump to this thread to remind folks it is tomorrow.
A note for those who refuse to go to events and places where they can not carry, first I understand and agree there should not be these restrictions. That said if you want to change the law you need to get out and talk to the Senators making those decisions. Not everyone has the ability to make it to a committee hearing, or even take time off from work to go visit there Senators office while the Legislature is in session. These types of activities gives another opportunity to do so. The organizations that are successful in changing the law, or blocking bad law, have people show up at in Senators offices to talk with them personally. Yes emails, letters and phone calls help; but the thing that has the most effect on a Senator is when one of his (or her) constituents takes time out of their day to go to see them in person to discuss their issue. Really the only places we normally have to see our Senators is either in their offices or at a political rally or fundraiser. Yes you may be lucky and run into one as they go about their lives, but it is not appropriate to pull a Senator into discussing your issue when they are out with their family or doing there non Legislature related job.
You don't like that you can not carry at places and events like this one, you don't like that there can be no alcohol in your system (as has been covered in other discussion a drink can be detected for 10+ hours) then it is up to you to make the decision that you need to do something about it. All I or the NFOA can do is give you the oppertunity, and act as reinforcement of your voice, but you need to step forward and have your voice heard.
