Hey guys , do you run Texas intra only , and are not a fan of the eld mandate.... I have been talking to my local rep and there might be a chance we can get an amendment. or an exemption for guys who run in state only. If you run intrastate and would like to join the fight let me know. we have until dec. 17th 2019 amd there is an election coming up before the next session so the possibility is there.... this willl not be a go to austin and protest thing or anything like that. but it will take as much involvement as possible. thanks.if you are interested you can contact me at [email protected] again this fight is for an intrastate only exemption done on the state level , not in dc.
