This year's gun bill...

http://www.peachpundit.com/2014/03/10/rumors-reshuffling-and-reloading/

However, I was left asking myself, why would Stone not be shouting to the rooftops his good fortune? In my humble opinion, he would make a great judge. He is not hot headed or rash, and while he is a team player, he thinks independently of leadership. He and I got to know one another a few years ago via a leadership class where I was personally encouraged by his willingness to ask challenging questions of certain accepted pillars of thought at the time. He has a quiet nature about him that some may mistake for being too soft. I would offer that he is wise enough to wait to strike at the right time.

I got my answer to that internal question a little after 11pm on Friday evening and if the prediction is true, it’s a helluva good reason for the Senator to keep his mouth shut.

The fun thing is that you can send any message you want, with any subject line.

I used their email system to show my support for HB 875 and to send them a message that this bill is important to a dedicated group of voters (i.e. gun owners).

It has been predicted that in the coming days Senator Stone will offer a committee substitute to HB 875, the carry bill that was said to pass without doubt this session. It has been predicted that this substitute will essentially water it down enough to render its edges smooth. And, for the heat Stone shall take, his reward will be that shortly following session he will be appointed judge by Governor Deal. It is very likely that the GOP executive committee will select his replacement, not primary voters. I know very little about party rules, so I shall leave that up to others to verify its accuracy. The decks are being reshuffled by leadership, and the bill will be reloaded in an altered form.

This is a rumor and may entirely not come to pass. It would not be the first time I have been duped in regards to this Senator, so we shall watch this unfold together.

If this is true that's pretty low down.

March 11, 2014

Dear GCO Member,

We told you yesterday that the Chairman of the Senate Judiciary Non-Civil Committee Jesse Stone has applied for a judgeship that will be appointed by Governor Nathan Deal and it was rumored he would have his own substitute bill for the hearing today. It is official, he has filed a substitute bill that will be introduced at the hearing of his committee meeting scheduled for later today. The new sub is an abortion that not only strips the bill of government buildings and the restoration of private property rights for churches and bars but adds domestic family violence battery and other language that is totally unacceptable to GeorgiaCarry.Org and the NRA.

This morning at 11:45 AM, HB60 was placed on the desk of all House members. HB60 has passed both chambers and was passed as a substitute bill in Jesse Stone's Committee. The purpose of the bill is to add retired judges to the exemption statute, 16-11-130.

The House will amend HB60 to include the addition of most of the language in HB875. The only noteworthy language the bill will not have is the $100 fine for carrying on campus. The rest of the bill is basically in tact as it passed the House originally with some clerical changes that needed to be made. When the House passes the amendment, they will return it to the Senate where the Senate can either agree to the changes or not agree. If the Senate agrees, the bill will be passed and transmitted to the governor for his action.

If the Senate disagrees, a conference committee will be appointed, (3 members of the House appointed by the Speaker and 3 members of the Senate appointed by the Lt. Governor). The conference committee will meet and try to reach an agreement on the bill language. If and when such language is agreed to by a majority of conference committee members, the bill will then be sent to each chamber for a vote. If both chambers vote to pass the bill, it will be sent to the governor for his action.

Should the bill reach the governor's desk; the governor will have 3 options. Sign it and it becomes law. Ignore it for 40 days and it becomes law. Veto the bill and send it back to the chambers.

====================

Continue to Contact Officials

Now, we need you to continue to contact the Governor, Lt. Governor and your Senator. We need to fill everyone's email box and voice mail if they are not already full. We need to send the following message to everyone in those positions:

Simply tell them you are a "member of GeorgiaCarry.Org and you want this bill passed as it passed the House. There is no reason for the State of Georgia to continue to deny your God given constitutionally enumerated rights to self-protection. It is time the Senate passes a good gun bill that allows law-abiding citizens to protect themselves wherever they might be. Please pass HB60 as it was amended and passed by the House."

It is imperative that we let these people know that we want to see HB60 passed as it was amended and passed the House. Be short and to the point in all communications with your senator. As we have stated in the past and continue to state, please show your elected officials respect when contacting them in any manner. Threats of never voting for them get you nowhere very quickly and hurt, rather than help our cause.
