Armed and Safe: NRA sabotaging grassroots effort for defensive handgun carry in Illinois?#links
I too am a member of the NRA. We in North Carolina have also had our share of being at cross purposes with NRA lobbyists at the state level. It looks like the good in this case is the enemy of the perfect.
But the fact of the matter is in politics you do what you can, when you can. Even if the Governor vetoes the bill, you still show everyone your strength. That may get even more people on board next year, so you might have a veto proof majority behind you. And who knows? The Governor may make the calculation that with gun laws being challenged in Chicago, and something else demanding his political capital, this is not a fight worth having at this time. Governors also can only do what they can do too.
