Ok, great. The problem that I encountered with the C&R portion was a misunderstanding (by the Chiefs of Police, DPS, and subsequently the PS committee) of what the law actually says now, and what the change would mean to current law(s). The misunderstanding is stated in the Chief of Police Assoc. testimony and that of the DPS under my bill, #547. I took a proactive approach and contacted the Chiefs about the select fire provision; once explained, it was understood and they said they had no problem with that - they left that part of the bill unchallenged in their testimony. The DPS rep said that C&R holders are already exempt as dealers. We know that this is not exactly accurate. So, I highly recommend contacting the Chiefs legislative liaisons and the DPS equivalent before the hearing during the next go-round. Misunderstanding is taken as being controversial, and controversy has resulted in the death of that portion of the bill. I thought the select fire aspect would be a hard sell, and the C&R portion would be easy; not the case. I admittedly worked harder on the select fire portion for that reason, and it so far has paid off. Good luck, God speed!
P.S. I would be happy to help in any way. I do have the means (an "in") to present the Chiefs of Police with your information so it will be taken as well as possible.
