• We are now running on a new, and hopefully much-improved, server. In addition we are also on new forum software. Any move entails a lot of technical details and I suspect we will encounter a few issues as the new server goes live. Please be patient with us. It will be worth it! :) Please help by posting all issues here.

Hello all, I'm new to opencarry.org. But definitely not new to standing up for our rights. Because I did not see it posted anywhere else on the forum (searched for it), I wanted to let everyone know about popvox.com. You can see all current and past legislation that either house has on the table. You can also support or oppose it, and in doing so you can easily email your rep or senators from the web form. Another great thing is that you get some statistics on how other people have voted (support or opposed) to get an idea of how many emails are making it to our 'leaders' and what direction they are being pushed. As we all know, it takes countless thousands of emails, letters, and calls; and relentless pressure on our 'leaders' to make sure they are actually supporting and defending our rights. Popvox is another tool we can use to hopefully get our point across.

To give you an idea what it looks like, here are the senate and congress versions of the little gem called "the stop online ammunition sales act"
Senate https://www.popvox.com/bills/us/112/s3458
Congress https://www.popvox.com/bills/us/112/hr6241
