Gun beat

With House approval today, you'll get to vote on a constitutional amendment making hunting, fishing, trapping, etc. a state constitutional "right" -- subject to limitation by the state Game and Fish Commission.
And, if you choose to do your hunting with a weapon you otherwise keep concealed, be aware that your permit to carry same in concealment will remain a matter of public record. The Senate today voted 34-0 in favor of the bill to release only names and ZIP codes. Full addresses are currently public information.

New poll finds Asa Hutchinson with sizeable lead over Jan Morgan, plus support for continuing Medicaid expansion among Republican primary voters
A new poll from Talk Business finds that Governor Hutchinson has a substantial lead over Jan Morgan, the hog-riding, Muslim-banning, gun-toting, airbrushing, RINO-busting gadfly from Hot Springs. And in a doozy of a finding, a substantial plurality of likely voters in the Republican primary now support the Medicaid expansion program.
