[Lycanthrope]

Taken from Rick Beckers facebook page, this is going on right now so the more emails we can get sent, the better!
-------------------------------
Friends, tomorrow is the big day.

My bill to affirm the Second Amendment and establish constitutional carry in North Dakota will be heard before the House Energy and Natural Resources Committee in the Coteau A room at 9:00am.

Please respectfully ask the members of the Committee for a 'Do Pass' recommendation on HB 1169:

Rick Becker ran for Governor and lost to Stenjham by a very slim margin at the Republican State convention back in March 2016. He ran a very positive campaign and everyone said so. He is a stand up guy for what is right.

Message sent.

I heard him on the radio today and he said ND was already an open carry state, since when did we become open carry?
I thought only law enforcement and certain military can open carry and we can only while in the field hunting or on private property be it your own or others with permission.

 

[2400]

I hope you guys get this passed, it's really worth while.

 

[Wild and Free]

Senate passed it 44-2 today.

Always has been that way. You would just have to deal with all the people calling the cops on you as you walked through Walmart.

 

[Lycanthrope]

If you really care about this, take the time to fire off some emails!

 

[Wild and Free]

ND is not a true open carry state like AZ or TX where there is no need for a CCW to do so. Here in ND one has to have a CCW permit in order to open carry a loaded firearm, one can open carry an unloaded firearm without a permit during daylight hours only just like hunting hours but what the hell good is that.

 

[Norske]

How would the new bill effect reciprocity with other states? if your ND license is only good in ND, it's not of much value.

 

[deleted member]

I disagree. I won't carry in other states anyway simply because I don't know their rules. If i can't stay up on their laws, I'm asking for trouble.

 

[sweeney]

I have been pushing this for a while, i havent read through the exact bill but during the primary i had a couple good talks with people in beckers camp about his plan for this. Basically if I can legally possess a firearm I should be able to legally carry it. The other concealed permits are still available if you worried about carrying in other states. My biggest reason of support to this bill is for carrying in my vehicles, I hate having to carry my pistol on the dash during daylight hours then worry about what is considered locked away after daylight. With this we legally can carry our pistol concealed in vehicle glove box all the time without fear of prosecution while legally and responsibly carrying concealed. I hope this can pass just for the constitutional reasoning that I can buy a gun I should be able to carry it.

[dean nelson]

Boy I bet that will irritate the guys in South Dakota even more then they already are. Big thing for me on this one is how many times I could have got busted for concealing a gun in the backseat but I didn't pay attention to where I threw my coveralls and other hunting gear and buried it.

 

[Sum1]

This is just plain friggen awsome. Seems thing are finally taking a positive turn in this country. Big win for gun owners.

 

[BrokenBackJack]

Finally acknowledging our second amendment rights!

Isn't it fun how i need someone to tell me my second amendment rights. now i can do what i,ve been doing legally.
