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.

Call Results
I contacted everyone on the list and when I was able to speak with a human I got varying forms of the same message. "The bill hasn't come up for discussion yet, and Rep. X wants to have a better idea on the wording of the bill before making a decision." I got tentative support from most of the Republicans and carefully worded non-answers from most of the Democrats.
I had about a 10 minute conversation with the staffer for Rep. Patrick Somerville. He said that our calling individual reps is step 3 when steps 1 & 2 haven't happened yet. He was also concerned that in trying to get all of the PFZs repealed. He said it would likely have a better chance of passing if the schools and bars were taken out and tried for later. He then apologized if it sounded like he was grumbling. He said that the office had gotten about 30 calls that day on other matters and almost 75 regarding HB4009.

Dear Sprinklerguy28,
Thank you for your email regarding House Bill 4009. Truly, this is a very important issue to our state your opinion is appreciated.
As a member of the NRA and Michigan Coalition for Responsible Gun Owners (MCRGO), I am a strong supporter of gun rights and the 2nd amendment. I look forward to legislation such as House Bill 4009 being considered in the 96th Legislature. Furthermore, I am excited to sit on the Committee for Judiciary and fully examine this bill with fellow legislators. Although at this time I am still analyzing and studying this bill, I promise to keep your thoughts in mind if and when this piece of legislation comes before me on the House floor.
Due to the volume of not just "spam," but also of legitimate "mass e-mail" from activist groups and others, it would greatly accelerate our response if we know you live in Alpena, Alcona, Montmorency, Crawford, Oscoda, or Presque Isle counties and you provide your name and address. If your original message did not include your full home mailing address, and you would like a response to your comments, please reply to this message with your name, full address, and phone number, and we will respond as soon as we are able.
In addition, please be aware that legislative courtesy requires me to refer individuals from outside my legislative district to the appropriate Representative. If you are not a constituent of my district, you may find contact information for your Representative at:
http://www.house.mi.gov/find_a_rep.asp
Your State Senator can also be found at:
http://senate.michigan.gov/SenatorInfo/find-your-senator.htm
Thank you again for your communicating your concern. If you have any further comments or questions, please email or call my office at (517) 373-0833.
Sincerely,
Peter Pettalia
State Representative
106th District

So that would imply that they still don't know that you can carry openly in these areas.:banghead:
This bill should satisfy those who are against our constitutional right to do that.
