All of these share the same problem as Campus Carry. They only resonate and speak to the sympathies of those who already know about it, understand, and agree. To someone who does not know, these all say, "Guns and Kids!" The group of people you're wanting to reach do not place a strong value on anything mentioned. I'm still thinking on what would and don't have suggestions.

Yes, that was me.

It may well take someone from the outside looking in to come up with the real name. A neutral outsider (if one can be found) or (God forbid!!) a marketing firm. I'm open to more suggestions, because this is almost like defining obscenity - I'll know it when I see it.

Perhaps I voted too soon.

Jason, thank you for putting this poll together.

Flint, thank you for coming up with a great choice.

I knew the folks here would be able to come up with something that worked. Even if this isn't the final name, it's a great start.

Almost every day, I force myself to spend some time doing opposition research in my field (reading up on what the unbelievers and "godless heathens" are doing/saying). It has really helped me to sharpen and focus my language and thought process on faith-related things, and I think the same idea applies here.

We can't concede a single point from the start, but we can't start the discussion off at a disadvantage, either. Focusing first on the simple extension of what the CHL holder is able to do (carry his self-protection firearm unmolested across imaginary lines) instead of focusing on where that happens might be the right starting point.

What's up with SB 905? If that finally goes through, there's another place to start: "The legislators/big wigs/'important' people have been doing this for two years, and there are no issues. Why not "extend" the rights of the rest of us to do the same? Oh, and why not "extend" where they can carry even further, too?"
