During a brief address Saturday (March 9) in Benton County, Rep. Sue Scott, R-Rogers, discussed a plan to revive an amended version of her open-carry measure, House Bill 1408.

The amended bill, which she referred to as a “baby step,” would protect those with a concealed-carry permit if their firearm inadvertently becomes exposed, as when the wind blows a jacket open, in unincorporated areas, she said.

The amended version is expected to be heard Tuesday in the House Judiciary Committee, Scott said.

Small though most steps will be, that's what it is going to take.

They'll eat that ammo for that price. Supply is going up and prices are coming down. I just bought 2 stripped lower receivers yesterday off of Palmetto State Armory for $119.95 each. On Wednesday they had the whole lower parts kit with 6 position stock for $110.95.

Capitalism works!

The general trend has been and will be in that direction. 0bama, Feinswine and their gun-banning commie ilk notwithstanding.

The Dem/libs have been engaging in a steady push to infringe on our right to keep and bear arms for decades. And this is how it has been working out for them in the last two decades...

• The percentage of Americans who own guns has increased.
• The percentage of Americans who believe we have a right to own guns has increased.
• The number of guns owned per gun owner has increased.
• The amount of ammunition possessed per gun owner has increased.
• Concealed carry laws have spread from state to state like wildfire.
• Castle Doctrine laws have been passed in numerous states that didn't have them.
• Stand Your Ground laws have been passed in more states than had them before.
• Gun rights lobbying groups have become a cottage industry unto themselves sprouting up like mushrooms after a rainstorm.
• In the worst economy since the Great Depression the firearms industry can't keep up with orders or expand fast enough.
• 65.4 Million Guns Bought Since Obama Took Office, 91% More Than Bush's First-Term Total

And in the last two months... (Dec. 2012 and Jan. 2013)

• Americans Buy Enough Guns in Last Two Months to Outfit the Entire Chinese and Indian Armies
• NRA membership has increased by 250,000.

If the lefties keep pushing gun control in another two decades one out of two Americans may be gun owners instead of one out of three.

MOLON LAVE?
Heck! We're buying them faster than you could ever collect them. ;-)

I noticed a lot of frowny faces at the show. The panic is subsiding and people aren’t paying $1,500 for a lame a** optics ready bushmaster or $1 for a round of 5.56 mm. I remember paying $1,000 for an Uzi back in 2009. I saw two of them for sale for 3 grand a piece.
