I hope that everyone realizes what Skolnik did here. He made sure that our big brother, the NRA was left sitting at home because only Open Carry was at risk and Concealed Carry wasn't. Of course, as soon as the meeting started this all changed and the original CCW exemption that had been created simply so the NRA would NOT come was dismissed and taken away. Thus, Skolnik had what he wanted, while not having to contend with the NRA in any way and thus only needing to tread on MOCA. It was quite the scheme to divide us... and obviously a few people here know my true feelings but nonetheless we will fight this one more time before it dies at the hands of the committee, and MOCA will not settle for anything less than the full defeat of the bill. Call me an idealist, but I know what is right and I will fight for what is right no matter what. We have nothing to gain from this, MOCA gets absolutely nothing in return for fighting this and doing what is right. We simply do this because we, as Americans have a duty to protect our rights!

I find it ironic that the NRA didn't even show up to ensure that Skolnik followed through on his promise. I'm extremely disappointed in their lack of support in this issue which so obviously falls within their stated mission.
