I am starting to believe that the NRA is lying to us also.
Here is my take on that. If you look at the propaganda that NRA was sending out, they touted the bill with training/permits and even had a Q&A PDF file set up so that people could research the law. Yet, they only gave a word in passing about SB93. That made me turn up my radar to full power right away.
My fears were calmed some what at the Wausau hearing because the NRA liaison spoke to SB93 issues. They had a liaison in Madison that spoke to the training/permit bill in Madison as well mind you.
Now, I have a world of respect for Vicki McKenna because she was the ONLY voice that we really had for Constitutional Carry. She takes a more Libertarian stance in that regard and I respect the hell out of her for never backing down.
I feel that in light of the La Sorte/Sykes spat (where Charlie lied his ass off), old Charlie was not going to be getting any info direct from NRA again and neither were any other egotistical, self-described "Sensible Conservative" radio talk show hosts anywhere near Milwaukee like Charlie. NRA or LaSorte went to Vicki and gave her the exclusive because she has been going for the whole enchilada from day one. It makes sense to me anyway.
What bugs me however is that La Sorte made it sound very much like he sat at the negotiating table with "some people" from the GOP legislature and hammered out this permit/training deal. Since one qualification for training is having "been involved in shooting competitions", it cannot be anything other than NRA terminology. He sure used the word "WE" an awful lot when it came to the talk on negotiations and I do not believe that he meant NRA. Well, I want to know exactly who the hell the other part of "WE" really is...Senators/Reps? Legislative Counsel?? Who??
Who determined with NRA/La Sorte just exactly how much of our state constitutional right could we freely exercise and who determined how many restrictions on that right we would have to swallow?
Any info that you can verify?
