I'm not big on internet frays, but, I think I'll step up here. Ghost, not sure if I know you, I want to make something clear. Gutshot works hard for our Commonwealth, for KC3 and gun rights. I don't know who at the NRA you are talking too, they wrote the bill and sent in their lobbyist to handle. When he talked to Gutshot he found how poorly written it was. Gutshot got it fixed and I am quite sure you weren't there to help. If you do not like the work he did, just say thanks and move on. As a board member of KC3 I know how much time we spend on the legislative pursuits. If you think you can help, stop complaining and join the board, we can use all the help we can get!!
Hotrod. Lets try this again.
I dont know Gutshot nor have a "fray" with him. Hes an unknown quantity to me up till now.
I do however know my rights concerning guns, and when they are about to be stepped on
If you go back read his posts to start with he was coming across as not liking thr sign changes etc but willing to compromise on them. Most gun carriers in ky are not. Im one of em.
Now aparently you know him so that would not put you on alert as it did me. To me he came across as defending the new bill, and trying to see it went thru regardless.
I and more gun owners than you know are very weary of compromise because we are always the ones giving an inch. And weary of both U.S. and state constitutions being ignored.
When he said the ky constitution didnt say what it plainly does, and was off to meet legislators it set me and others on edge.
That said. Apparently by not knowing him, I misconstrued alot of his commrnts. And Im sure being on the board of a.state gun board hes not used to being questioned or confrontrd here.
I do apologise for reading intentions into comments that apparently werent there.
I dont apologize for pointing out in its orginal form was a disaster. Or calling , texting and meeting all reps co spinsors etc i had time for to kill the orginal bill. Apparently nobody rea the stupid thing but the NRA and as usual they flat out lied to me this evening.
I have no complaints about what Gutshot did. Actually quite grateful . Its a long drive to Franfort and though I offered to do it the reps and judicuary members I spoke with assured me the bill would be rewritten or be scrapped.
I already have started spreading the word making a few calls tonight that the bill is now worthy to support and urging that.
But. What I asked about tonight is there. Its not a deal breaker. I was just curious why it was worded that way. Not a complaint just a question.
What I got was a snide coment in return.
Actually ive gotten guite a few you cant read, im unhinged etc from him.
You dont know me. Nor I you
In a nutshell Im sorry for misreading Gutshots intentions.
I am grateful for what he did.
I will push just as hard now to get this version of the bill thru as I did to kill the original version despite the response i got to a simple question.
Ill consider joining KC3
But ive founded and ran a 501c3 all voluteer kids charity for 10 yrs till stepping down that still helps sick kids all over ky today. Have several in your neck of the woods.
I might not fit in well if taking guff for a simple queston is required. I dont do that very well.
