HB 228 – Action Needed Now

HB 228 sponsor Rep. Krayton Kerns reports that the lobbyist for Montana credit unions is lobbying the Governor (at this very late date) to do an amendatory veto of HB 228 to disallow open carry of firearms in credit unions in Montana. If this 12th-hour idea should get any traction, it will open a can of worms with HB 228. There will emerge a pages-long list of places where open carry is not allowed!

Please contact Governor Schweitzer and ask him to sign HB 228 AS IS!

You can phone the Governor’s office at 444-3111 and leave a message, you can fax the Governor at 444-5529 (hint, you can Google up one of the free Internet fax services ["free fax"] to fax a document file from your computer), or you can send a comment to the Governor via his Online comment form at:

I recommend you keep your message VERY short. Just ask the Governor to sign HB 228 AS IT HAS COME FROM THE LEGISLATURE.

Thanks!!
