This was a surprise to me!
Despite the establishment pouring large sums of cash into the special election to fill the Senate seat of Jeff Sessions, McConnell ally, Luther Strange, is lagging behind Roy Moore by nine points. Worse, Rep. Mo Brooks is now threatening to overtake Strange, raising the prospect of the establishment being completely locked out of the runoff in September. https://www.conservativereview.com/articles/roy-moore-surges-to-9-point-lead-vs-rnc-establishment-in-alabama |

Congress Critters want the ability to carry weapons in DC while leaving the rest of us unarmed.

There is legislation to make it legal for ANYONE with a CCP to be able to carry nationwide.

I think what CKyleC is saying is that there will be no incentive for the others. View Quote I'm finding myself defending Mo Brooks in this thread which is strange, because I don't like the guy. I was shooting at a WMA range a few weekends ago and a guy volunteering for Brooks' campaign asked me if I wanted a sign for my yard and I basically told him the same thing I said in my first post in this thread: Brooks is the most palatable turd of the three major candidates. |

Exactly. And he won't support it either, after his bill. If he had put as much effort in to National Reciprocity as he has his bill, I'd be all for him. However, he knows congress loves to vote themselves special privileges. View Quote View All Quotes View All Quotes Quoted:

Also, I think your statement about level of effort regarding Congressional Carry vs. National Reciprocity is inaccurate. The Congressional Carry bill is currently in subcommittee. The 2011 National Reciprocity bill that Brooks co-sponsored made it a lot further down the legislative road than Congressional Carry has. Also, I forgot in my earlier post that Brooks was an original co-sponsor of the 2017 Concealed Carry Reciprocity Act. Strange appears to be very pro-RKBA, but I personally don't care for his ties to Bentley or friendliness with McConnell. Other than the expected "I support gun owners" type of fodder from Roy Moore, I couldn't find anything he has specifically done that would lead me to believe that Moore is pro-RKBA. I would have expected to have found a voting record fir Moore on any State Supreme Court cases relating to the RKBA, but I couldn't find any. Surely some exist... |

That incentive Brooks, Strange, Moore, or any politician has to pass National Reciprocity is fulfilling Rule #1 of an elected official: getting and keeping a job. Have you contacted Brooks to tell him that if he wants your vote for Senate then he needs to get National Reciprocity attached to or combined with the Congressional Carry bill?

Just remember that the pollsters that said Hillary would win were actually correct. The polls only showed Popular Vote, not electoral college. Hillary did win the popular vote, meaning the polls were right on that account.

Luther Strange is running commercials attacking Mo Brooks.
This doesn't change my opinion of Mo Brooks, but it makes Luther Strange look like a jerk. Is this what Luther considers a "winning" strategy? https://youtu.be/TxqIUOdc908 |

I had a poll call me yesterday asking about the Senate race and who'd I vote for etc. They had a list but the top three were Strange, Moore, and Brooks. Moore was the first so I think it was a pollsters for his group.

What really bothers me is that Strange is going to make people mad at both him and Brooks which will let Moore into the office.

And now the NRA-ILA is running ads in North Alabama i support of Strange. I have called them and emailed to let them know I am not happy about it. Out of Brooks, Moore and Strange, Strange would be the last person to get my vote.

So I raised the "CCW for me and not for thee" issue with Mo Brooks. His response was this:
...lest there be any confusion, as a staunch supporter of the 2nd Amendment Right to Bear Arms, I believe all law-abiding citizens should be able to conceal carry. That is why I am an original cosponsor of H.R. 38, the Conceal Carry Reciprocity Act of 2017, to extend national reciprocity to all qualified individuals, as well as numerous other pieces of legislation ensuring that the rights guaranteed under the 2nd Amendment to the Constitution are not infringed upon. View Quote Checked H.R. 38 Co Sponsors and Mo is there. |

The current thinking now is that the Left is pumping up Luther Strange in the polls to get a Strange/Moore runoff. The problem is that the Mo Brooks vote will probably go to Roy Moore, which is the one that the Left wants the Least.

It should be interesting to see what effect further statements by Trump, (if any) have on the results of the runoff.
Quite a few of Moore's voting base were Trump supporters. |
