Surprisingly close. Definitely need to show our support with as many "Favor" votes as we can muster.

[svillekahuna]

50%-45%...in favor.

[Teresa Heilevang]

We're gettin' there. I wonder if it really makes a fat rats patootie  what the votes say.

[SlickRob]

NOPE!

But I voted anyway.

[Sponsor]

[tumblebug]

+1

[Cancerman]

I voted as well. Still running 50 to 45%. Wouldn't it be nice if it did help.

I love the part where they say CCW holders aren't necessarily trained to shoot in crowds as the police are. Hell, just like the Columbine H.S. shooting, by the time the police got their plan together the shooting was already over when they got there (usually the case)

No disrespect meant to the P.D. I luv them guys; but the Columbine mess was a fiasco. And it was all on camera.

When seconds count, the cops are only minutes away....

I may get flamed for this but ya all know me and ya know I'll speak my mind.

When I was young (30 years ago) I believed (and so did my Dad) that the police were our friends.  I no longer believe this.  Too many young cops (30 and under) do not trust us to carry.  Too many of the young cops grew up in PC Government schools and were taught that 'big brother' knows best.

Sorry, but the police are now just another government force like those that carried out Waco.

+1 on that Haz. I've made similar posts on other threads here. I think Tombogan has a somewhat contrarian view, but hey, that's cool too. I think if (when?) the fecal debris hits the fan, we will witness an interesting shakeout in the PDs around the country, and it will be the black shirts who win, i.e., not the good guys.
