2014 Legislative session

[rbMPSH12]

brotherbill: Does it mean that you could still be charged by a prosecutor with a felony, but that you can fight it with locked/out of sight as a defense? What I mean to say is: does it leave open the possibility of being convicted of a felony even if you use locked/out of sight as a defense? Or is it a guarantee that you cannot be convicted of a felony? Can they still take you to court over it? It seems kind of vague.

1. IANAL ... so .... but is has the Stored Properly etc. in 1 section as an exemption to ... and then that stored (properly) is a defense from prosecution in the following section; which adds - the misdemeaner A for in plain sight - as it was in the house version

Call or write please!!

 

[FatDad]

Calls and emails sent. Just wanted you guys to know you're not alone. There are more than just those posting on INGO writing and calling. I've been silently following this thread since Saturday when I got an email from my kid's school asking us to contact legislators to oppose this. I used their legislator list to contact them to support. I've also had several friends and family members call and email in support of SB229(amended version). Fingers crossed.

 

[JohnMcClane]

Done again... emailing that is...

 

[rockhopper46038]

Yes, this! ^^^

We need more people to take the 5 minutes and send an email to all the conferees, advisors, and the leader of the House and Senate. All the email addresses are up thread a few pages. This may be preachy, but if the right is important enough for you to be interested in the outcome if this, it's important enough for you to do your part and contact the legislators.

And if you already have, thank you. Please do it again!

I just emailed them all and got my ex-wife to as well

 

[rockhopper46038]

^^^ Wow, kudos to you!

 

[dnurk]

Emails sent as well. Hoping they feel this important enough to get done today.

Got this yesterday:

MDA has very little credibility in the Statehouse. All emotion and no facts to back up their position. If we don't get it done, it will be because egos get in the way between House and Senate versions of the bill. I'm working on it!

Torr is a good'un!

 

[SteveM4A1]

BTW, House is in recess until approx. 1:30

 

[MemphisR32]

Just called my district senator and rep again. Be very polite and thank them for their service.

 

[jimbo-indy]

E-mails sent, again. My Senator's office, Scott Schneider, replied within a few minutes confirming his support of this bill. My Rep. Ed Delaney, has never responded (of course) but I have spent extra time on his e-mails, trying to use logic over emotion. Guess I shouldn't expect much form a wanabe communist.

Guys,
We've just gained access to the revised text of the 'new' SB229: http://tribwxin.files.wordpress.com/2014/03/sb-229-ccr.pdf
This is what they've released to media outlets.

I am not a lawyer either and with my layman's reading, that pretty well seems to capture the high points of what "we're" looking for in HB1048.

 

[MemphisR32]

I realized my post isn't relevant to topic at hand and distracting from the purpose at hand.

Let's keep up the phone calls. Polite, informative and factual!!

 

[brotherbill3]

Again please keep all correspondence polite and factual. This is what the other side might be sending.

Thanks - LOL good for a laugh at lunch time. ... I read some of the others ... then my brain circuits started to fuse. so I quit before permanent damage set in.

Probably a good idea. You notice there weren't any statistics or facts to support that argument? I never write an email asking for support without including relevant facts. It is good to know that most of the legislators of our great state can see through emotional arguments and look for the facts.

 

[Viper1973]

We need to get this one passed - if nothing else just to **** MDA/MAIG off! lol.

I get SO tired of them trying to use one emotional argument after another when none of them have ANY basis in FACT.
