A fourth Republican legislator, Rep. Mike Christian, has taken House Speaker-elect Kris Steele to task for recent comments that some members found offensive and he's asked Steele to take steps to "ease the tension" inside the House GOP Caucus.

Therefore, I respectfully request that you specifically, publicly, and unambiguously answer the following questions:

2. Do you support and will you help advance open-carry gun rights legislation?
