Day 2 started with the State and Local Subcommittee chaired by Scott Bach of NJ. We had a good talk about the nuances of the new NJ carry licensing process before the meeting started. The directors present were Walker, Swartz, Rumple, Nyce, Heil, and Sigler. After calling the roll, Sigler motioned to go into executive session, so I had to depart.

The Audit Committee chaired by Charles Cotton met over lunch. The directors present were Coy, Lanford, Lee, Heil, Nyce, Rumple, Walker, Meadows, and Jenkins. Staff present were Ouimet, Frazer, and Rowley. After calling the roll and approving the minutes of the prior meeting, they went into executive session, so I had to depart.

The Legislative Policy Committee chaired by Kane Robinson was next. Jason Ouimet and his team were there from the staff. The directors present were Hiltunen, Hernandez, Journey, Frampton, Craig, Heil, Ellis, Swartz, Heil, Barr, White, Lanford, Hill, Lee, Bach, Rumple, Walters, Prinz, Hammond, Jenkins, Seigler, and a couple who weren’t wearng name tabs and I don’t recognize their faces. After calling the roll and approving the minutes of the prior meeting, they went into executive session, so I had to depart.

The Legal Affairs Committee was the last one for the day. Scott Back chaired the meeting. Frazer and Ouimet were the staff attendees. The Directors present were Hernandez, Swartz, Walker, Nyce, Rumple, Hammond, Barr, Lee, Lanford, Heil, Freidman, Sigler, Cotton, Craig, Coors, Coy, and Jenkins. After calling the roll and approving the minutes of the prior meeting, they went into executive session, so I had to depart.

One item of note, many of the secretaries of these committees were new. A couple from yesterday were also new. Impact from the staff reductions?

I’ll be back tomorrow (probably for more executive sessions…..)
