This is completely untrue. The reasons unlicensed carry didn't pass all had names. I will share two: Stickland, and Watkins. The actions of a very vocal minority doomed unlicensed carry from the start and almost killed open carry. If we see thw same behaviour again more political capital will be spent trying to prevent or undo damage rather making real progress.
I'm talking about this coming session. I honestly don't care who did what in the past. Or who gets the credit in the future. And I stand by my statement. If the NRA doesn't fully support it, it doesn't have much of a chance.
I want it to be fought for and passed. Can't happen without the fight though. That is a fact.
If it is about who wrote the bill, well I could care less about that too. I've read it, not perfect, but it looks pretty good IMO
I've highlighted the problem with your position. The same people who were responsible for it in the past will be involved this time around. Odds are very good that they will pull the same stunts they pulled last session, with the same results. Then, they will blame 'lobbyists' and the NRA when their pet legislation doesn't pass.
