Constitutional Carry #5

As predicted, Colorado's constitutional carry bill that passed the Republican controlled House, has been assigned to the Senate Veterans and Military Affairs committee.

For those of you who might not know, this committee is the one the Dems send bills to with the expectation that they will be voted down and buried under the compost heap without further fanfare. It is also referred to as the "kill committee".

No surprises here, so we wait till the next election.

Update: So I jumped the gun a bit. While the bill has been relegated to the "kill committee, bills have been known, like prisoners in Alcatraz, to successfully escape. Politicians are amenable to pleas from constituents, especially if there appear to be a lot of them. 3 committee members are described as "undecided" and might be reachable, so drop them all an e-mail in support of HB1205, which would make Colorado the 5th state to adopt such a measure.

Be polite, it's not like we're union members or anything like that.
