I think we are going to have a couple of teams out for an advocacy day on Tuesday so the timing may work well for us to have representation.

Third hearing is scheduled for Tuesday, December 12. It'll be interesting to see if any opponents show up to testify against the bill.

Fourth hearing scheduled for 4/10/18. Considering the current political climate I'm pleasantly surprised the Republicans are still willing to continue movement of pro-gun bills.
