From facebook:
According to House Bill 1072 sponsor Lynne DiSanto, Both candidates for Congress as well as both of the current (we haven’t forgotten about Matt Michels) major candidates for Governor are in favor of permitless concealed carry.
Is it just a matter of time before it happens?
I said that in a comment on a previous article here and someone had a snarky response. It is getting old telling people I told you so.
Headline now on FoxNews, “Arkansas Gov OKs guns in bars, churches, on college campuses”.
What are we, the state of South Arkansas?
Curious to see how the NRA reacts to those that gave them the middle finger after the NRA endorsed and supported them.
Nice to see these 4 prospective candidates all in favor of this, but I guarantee you Michels is not in favor. He’s a Daugaard/Rounds clone.
One wonders if the 4 prospective candidates are just fluffing the sheets.
I read this story on March 7th:

I sure hope people track how their reps vote. Looks like we need another round of RINO roundup.
Thank you to all who give of their time and talents, this is one Awesome State.
Grudz is right. They will talk a big game during the primary, but it’s hard to go against the wishes of every law enforcement agency in the state when you’re the state’s chief law enforcer.
Krebs testified in favor in House committee. I was told Jackley also supported it and he might have also testified in favor but maybe not I don’t know with law enforcement.
Either way big win for gun rights.
Rank and file officers are ok with this. Milsted and others are part of this old guard that need to retire. The facts don’t back their old tired arguments. Mickelson is the one to watch.
Speaking of Michels, when are we going to hear from him on his decision??
last I heard it was after VETO day, so I assume later this week or next
Pandering to the gun nuts, sad!
Pandering to the gun nuts, sad!Or pandering to those who don’t feel that exercise of constitutional rights doesn’t require a permit?
We just can’t seem to stop trying to prove Obama right. Pierre is constantly focused on guns and religion. And over here, just to our right, we have the 4th District of Iowa. (Home of Confederate Congressman Steve King).
Well, Honey Boo Boo, how did we get here?
Jimmy–didnt you leave SD?
Been here my whole life. Was a Republican BT. (Before Trump)
Yep that is why we all lost respect for you
Sure. And thanks for speaking for everyone.
You lost respect for Jimmy being a Republican for not voting for Trump? Are you serious? I know many good Republicans who did not vote for Trump. Comrade Trump’s presidency is turning into one big Dumpster fire!
I was a RINO. Well, outside of being pro-life, pro-defense, pro-Israel and moderately conservative that is. I am a fiscal-moderate with some Libertarian thoughts. Nowadays, that would make me a lefty RINO so I became an Independent.
Obviously I am confused. Does law enforcement oppose this or not? I’m only wondering because isn’t AG Jackley the top law enforcement officer in the state?
If he supports this then why wouldn’t everyone else? And wouldn’t it have been helpful for him to give testimony supporting it prior to the veto?
All I’m saying is that law enforcement is obviously not all on the same page so they shouldn’t expect everyone else to be on the same page with them if they are giving mixed signals.
Rank and file is not opposed. Some administration is opposed.
In most states LE Admin is opposed due to potential loss of revenue. I can’t see that being the case here, given our reasonable cost structure. More likely it’s just the normal RINO control issue.
BTW, that was also me at 11:20. Not trying to hide, just hit “post” too soon.
