In the subject line put:
SUPPORT SB-234 -- RESTORE Rights to CW License Holders
I guess the thought is to have their inboxes flooded Monday morning.
Here is mine:
Dear Senators,
Please vote yes on SB 234. Currently, people with concealed weapons permits cannot openly carry and they can even be arrested for accidental exposure of their weapons. 32 states recognize the right to openly carry a handgun without a permit if you are an adult who may lawfully own the weapon. SB 234 is much more modest; it will only allow Concealed Weapon or Firearm Licensees to carry openly. Licensed open carry is the law in 12 states, Georgia included. Our other border state, Alabama, is one of the 32 states that allows open carry without a permit. Please allow Floridians into the mainstream with this legislation.
During the hearing, there will probably be high ranking law enforcement officers telling you the sky will fall if this legislation is enacted. Unfortunately, these figures have lost credibility because they are always against the 2nd amendment rights of law abiding citizens. First of all, real criminals hide their guns. Secondly, open carry is not a problem in the rest of the country.
Sincerely,
