Get politically active - Support Concealed Carry Reciprocity, being voted on this week!


Hello all, WA Guns poster here, see my first informational thread here. It's such a strange thing when our state government is signaling that they will be infringing on our rights, and the federal government is the only one who can stop it. Throughout most of our lives it's been the other way around.HR 38 Concealed Carry Reciprocity is up for a vote this week in the US House. This is the most important positive gun development that would ever happen in most of our lifetimes after the sunset of the AWB. Contact your federal representatives to support this bill! I'd recommend saying something similar to:"Hi NAME, Please vote for and support H.R. 38, the Concealed Carry Reciprocity Act of 2017.Our fundamental right to keep and bear arms should not end at the state line. This legislation would ensure that law-abiding citizens such as myself do not lose the ability to protect ourselves when we travel from state to state. Currently we face a patchwork of laws that allow anti-gun states and jurisdictions to harass travelers for legally exercising their constitutional rights.So again, as a strong supporter of our Second Amendment rights, I am urging you to support and vote for H.R. 38."Staying engaged with your representatives, local, state, and national, will help show them you're active and vote to support the 2nd amendment. This is one of those steps. With our help, this has a good chance of passing the House. The Senate is another battle.In order to pass the Senate, we would need ALL Republicans and 8 Democrats. The even remotely possible Democrat flips are below. My logic is any purple state, AG support, or up for reelection in a Trump state (with a few longshots thrown in):an asterisk * = their state AG supports thisBennet (CO) Purple stateNelson (FL)* Purple stateDonnelly (IN)* Trump state reelection 2018Stabenow (MI)* Trump State, reelection 2018Klobuchar (MN) Pro-Gun midwest, almost Trump State, reelection 2018 (Clinton-won)McCaskill (MO)* Trump State, reelection 2018Tester (MT)* Trump State, reelection 2018Cortez Masto (NV)*Shaheen (NH) "live free or die" state longshot!Hassan (NH) "live free or die" state longshot!Heitkamp (ND)* Trump state reelection 2018Brown (OH)* Trump state reelection 2018Casey (PA) Trump state reelection 2018Bernie Sanders (VT) pro-gun longshot!Baldwin (WI)* Trump state reelection 2018Every contact we have with our reps helps them understand they have politically active constituents who care about these issues. via /r/CCW http://ift.tt/2kkCHos
