3% voted: Democrat.
61% voted: Republican.
20% voted: Libertarian.
17% voted: Other.


20% Libertarian (19,697.2 votes) and 17% Other (16,742.62 votes) = a pretty large swing base on 2A issues. You'd think that our current legislation would understand this.

No (R) is going to be immune from replacement if they support permit carry.

probably think 'may issue' is a permit issued in May.
No, it's the latest edition of a magazine. :lol:

I voted, but haven't gotten an email w/ results.
Quibble w/ the wording "do you own a gun?"... better question is "do you own at least one gun?" Being pedantic, many of us would have to answer no to the first question, as we own more than one.
