Cause their lives are worth more than yours.

The piece you show says nothing really. Only that they can't carry in the chambers of congress

That is the only change to the exempt list....(15) adding them to 16-11-130.

Eh...I don't know...everyone else on 16-11-130 is exempt from even having a permit at all. This specifically says that they need to have a permit...so it's really just expanding where they're allowed to carry...

Why not just add license holders to the list? This is just the "For us not you."

I agree, that's what they should do. And yes, it creates another group of "only ones" or whatever. But it's also not a full exemption that everyone else in 16-11-130 enjoys. Either way, it's bad legislation.

Well don't forget they could amend it to remove the license requirement.

Which would be my preference. I currently enjoy my "only one" status...but I would be happy to see it extended to everyone.
