HB-1174 Action Item!!!!!!

I just got this e-mail from Senator Ted Harvey

Dear Tyler,



I wanted to take a moment to give you an update on an important 2nd Amendment vote that occurred in the Senate today. We finally had a vote on HB 1174--Repeal Sunset Conceal Carry Database. As you know when we originally passed the statewide concealed carry statute in 2004 there was a provision in the bill putting all permit holders in a "Big Brother" database which was to expire this year. Originally, HB 1174 was to extend the database indefinitely but the sponsor offered an amendment to extend it only for another four years.



When the bill first came up for a vote we were able to kill the bill with the help of several Democrats including Senator Gail Schwartz from Aspen. Unfortunately, after some severe arm twisting by the sponsor of the bill Senator Schwartz switched her vote and help pass this blatant infringement of our 2nd Amendment rights.



There is still hope! The bill will be up for a final vote on Monday. Please keep up the pressure on all the Democrats in the Senate but especially Senator Schwartz. If Senator Schwartz's is convinced to change her vote back to a NO we will have the votes to protect freedom and liberty for yet another day.



The following is a link to the contact information for all the members of the state legislature: http://www.leg.state.co.us/Clics/Cli...y?openframeset, Please take a moment to contact those in the Senate you feel might be willing to change their vote to a NO.



Sincerely,

I hate once again to break everybody's heart there is no such thing as a CCW data base as per CO law.

It was a statistical thing it had nothing to do with a data base. All of you thinking that when this law go's away you will no longer show up in CBI are very mistaken it has nothing to do with it.

Let me try once again to make this as simple as possible.


The CCW law simply required Sheriffs to report " How many permits where issued, How many permits where denied, How many permits where revoked................That is all folks and if you actually read the law it even states that "INDIVIDUAL NAMES SHALL NOT BE SUBMITTED".

I hope that is simple enough. For those of you like me that your sheriff enters you into CBI it has nothing to do with the law. It is their choice to do so some do some don't.

We are our worst enemy ignorance is bliss. [diss]

Yeah, that may be true, but cbi allows those names there based on that law. If we get that law to sunset, cbi has already stated they will not allow names to be entered in that fashion any more. So we need this law to sunset. Karl.
