Response!

Got a response from Senator Murray already:

Dear Mr. Morganthen,


Thank you for writing to me regarding S. Amdt. 1618, Senator Thune (R-SD)'samendment to provide for uniform reciprocity for concealed weapon possession across the country. It is good to hear from you.


Senator Thune's amendment would allow gun owner with a right to carry concealed weapon in one state the right to carry a concealed weapon across the United States. Like you, I am concerned about the level of violence in this country, and its effect on our families and communities. Legislation to regulate the use of firearms is and should remain primarily a state issue. I believe that our national crime-fightingstrategy should include reasonable measures to control firearms that strike a balance between reducing street crime and maintaining individuals' rights.


As a U.S. Senator, I have supported common-sense measures to reduce or restrict gun violence while posing the least possible inconvenience to law-abiding gun owners. Please know that as the Senate considers this and other firearms legislation, I will keep your concerns regarding this important issue in mind. If you would like to know more about my work in the Senate, please feel free to sign up for my updates at http://murray.senate.gov/updates. Thank you again for writing, and please keep in touch.

ha ha. It almost seems like they missed my point...

  1. I see both he and your other Senator voted nay. Not real surprised, I am disappointed that 2 Republicans voted nay.

  4. I debated whether or not to post this but decided I'm interrested in you'alls opinion. I bought my Ultra Carry II new in 2003, shot it a lot, maintained it carefully and changed the recoil springs at or before the recommended intervals. This fall I noticed two small vertical cracks in the frame, right at the forward edge of the frame rails. Sent it into Kimber for inspection and yes, they are cracks. My frame is cracked and my slide is set up with the external extractor that caused so much trouble at the time i made my purchase. ( I never had any trouble with the extractor at all). Per Kimber Pistols, the gun could not be returned to me because it no longer met their current specs, or they could return it with a formal certificate from the manufacturer that it was not safe to shoot. Or, they could sell me a new Kimber firearm at a substantial discount, roughly 27 per cent off list price. I chose that option because, untill the cracks, this was a great firearm, lightweight, reliable and very accurate. And yet, it doesn't really set well with me. Is a cracked frame in a well maintained Kimber Rifle firearm acceptable after almost 20 years of use? Is it a design defect that Kimber would rather not be known? I freely acknowledge that their stated warranty is only one year, but there are many posts on this forum that "Kimber will make it right" Did they? Kimber Firearms For Sale Online
