CONTACT YOUR STATE REPRESENTATIVE NOW!
HB 304 is BEING HELD UP IN THE PUBLIC SAFETY CMTE. TRY TO GET IT OUT WITHIN 1 OR 2 DAYS! If voted out of cmte. it will come up for vote immediately before the whole GA. HOUSE. Your State Rep. needs to know that you support this change WHICH GIVES YOU THE ABILITY TO DEFEND YOURSELF IN MOST PLACES IN WHICH AN ATTACK WILL LIKELY BE MADE UPON YOU. - - - - - - - I received the message below and forward it to you now. - - - - - - - Subject: GA: Concealed Carry Bill Sent to Sub-Committee Date: Thu, 15 Feb 2001 16:14:09 -0500 From: Gun_Owners_of_America@mailmanager.net To: Gun_Owners_of_America@mailmanager.net Concealed Carry Bill Sent to House Sub-Committee Gun Owners of America E-Mail/FAX Alert 8001 Forbes Place, Suite 102, Springfield, VA 22151 Phone: 703-321-8585 / FAX: 703-321-8408 http://www.gunowners.org February 15, 2001 Dear Georgia Gun Rights Supporter, H.B. 304, by Representative Robert Franklin (R - Marietta), to eliminate No Safety Zones for concealed carry permit holders was sent to a House Public Safety Sub-Committee on Monday. Sending Rep. Franklin's bill to a sub-committee is bad news for concealed carry permit holders. You see, the chairman of a sub-committee does not have to hold a hearing on a bill or bring it up for a vote -- unless he wants to or is persuaded to. That's why I need you to call your State Representative immediately (see roster at the end of this message) and tell him or her to ask the Sub-committee Chairman, Representative Curtis Jenkins (D - Forsyth), to use his leadership position to advance H.B. 304 and vote to report the bill to the House floor for passage, without any amendments that water down or weaken the bill. And if Rep. Jenkins is your State Representative, please contact him immediately via e-mail at cjenkins@legis.state.ga.us or by phone at 404-656-7857 during the week and 912-994-3488 over the weekend. Tell Rep. Jenkins to vote to report H.B. 304 to the House floor for passage, without any amendments that water down or weaken the bill. Under current law, honest, law-abiding concealed permit holders cannot carry concealed at a "public gathering," i.e., sporting events, churches, public buildings or restaurants that serve alcoholic beverages. This renders countless Georgians completely defenseless while they are out with their family, at church, a ball game, eating a meal or going to and from their car at their favorite steak house or pizzeria. H.B. 304 would simply restore the right of self-defense to honest, law-abiding concealed carry permit holders and eliminate these No Safety Zones where criminals commit their offenses against citizens left completely defenseless under the current law. It's critical that you call your State Representative today and ask him or her to urge Rep. Jenkins to bring H.B. 304 before the Sub-Committee and to report the bill to the House floor for passage, without any amendments that water down or weaken the bill. Rep. Jenkins must decide if he wants to stand with you and other law-abiding gun owners or do the bidding of the liberal gun grabbers. Please call your State Representative at once. You can use the suggested comments below as a guide. And please e-mail Rep. Franklin at bfrankli@legis.state.ga.us and thank him taking the lead to defend our gun rights by introducing H.B. 304. Don't delay. Your right of self-defense hangs in the balance. Sincerely, Dennis Fusaro Director of State Legislation ***** Suggested comments to your State Representative ***** Representative ___________________, Please ask Representative Curtis Jenkins, Chairman of the House Public Safety Sub-committee, to use his leadership position to advance H.B. 304 to the House floor for passage, without any amendments that water down or weaken the bill. Support H.B. 304 at every opportunity to restore the right of self-defense to honest, law-abiding concealed carry permit holders and eliminate these No Safety Zones. Thank you! ***** Pre-written message to Rep. Jenkins ***** Dear Representative Jenkins, Please use your leadership position as Sub-committee Chairman to advance H.B. 304 to the House floor for passage, without any amendments that water down or weaken the bill. H.B. 304 would simply restore the right of self-defense to honest, law-abiding concealed carry permit holders and eliminate these No Safety Zones where criminals commit their offenses against citizens left completely defenseless under the current law. Please vote to support H.B. 304 at every opportunity.
