*****************FOR WIDEST POSSIBLE DISTRIBUTION**********************
About 30 pro 2A supporters turned out, on very short notice, to testify
at the Senate Judiciary Committee Hearing in favor of HB668 without
Amendments or Substitution.
No one turned out in opposition!
It was obvious some Senators were desperately wanting someone...anyone
to testify against this bill, but they were sorely disappointed.
The hubris of our opponents never ceases to amaze me.
As of last Friday morning HB668 was a done deal. The Senators had agreed
to strip everything but 23-21 from the bill, call it a great pro-gun
victory and expect our support in the next election.
Our backs were to the sea with adversaries who have great political
power out-numbering and surrounding us.
Tsun Tzu (in the Art of War) says; When you find yourself in this
position (back to the sea, against stronger opposition, and the only way
to victory is forward), then the proper command from the leaders is:
"Burn the boats!"
Give us HB668 as written in the House or give us nothing!
By turning out in-force, with well spoken witnesses, who stayed on
Message Discipline, we may well have changed the outcome of this
legislative session. We will know for sure in the next four days.
Great Job Everyone!
Be Safe,
Tim Oliver

| Thanks for the update Bob, that is wonderful news, I surely wanted to make my presence available. I wish I had the names of the public attendees, I'd love to thank them personally.

To inadvertently help kill the bill.
