Great gun store--hopefully he can pull it off.

I'll be the first to say that no election should be based off of "single issue politics", however Coloradans, especially folks like us on this site, have seen the continued attacks on our 2A rights by the increasingly "progressive" legislature.

I think that CO has a very good chance of electing a conservative governor in the next election. While this is HUGE, to be fully effective in getting Colorado back to being the state we once knew and loved, we've got to get a conservative majority into the legislature. It would absolutely be in our best interest if those elected conservatives also appreciated the Second Amendment the way we do.

I'm going to try to learn more about Teddy Collins, but I'm definitely liking what I'm seeing at this point.

We've all heard the mantra "this upcoming election is the most important election of our lifetime" repeated in every election for the last 20+ years. Even so, I honestly believe that this next election is our best, last, chance to turn this state around. This next election is going to require ALL of us to reach out to everyone we know who share similar values and get them on board to vote for the change we so badly need. If we can't get enough people out to vote these destructive Democrats out of office, we'll continue to see more of what we've been getting since 2004.

It's time for change. It's time to make a difference. It's time to send the Democrats in our state offices packing.

If republicans are going to have a chance here, I think it’s necessary they distance themselves from MAGA with some measured intentionality… as a trump voter every time in the past, the concept of “the end justifies the means” is contrary to a growing number of conservatives. There must not be tyranny from either side for us to reunite our country. Good future leadership will see that.

I had a chance to have a 5 minute conversation with Teddy this evening. Seems like a solid guy.

I'm probably going to make a stop in to Spartan Defense and see if he's available for a longer conversation.

Since the two of us are both very pro-2A, and maybe we'll both be on the ballot, maybe we can work to help each other.
