All,
While we truly don't know what the outcome will be (and at least 2 of the 3 judges seemed to open-minded), the decision will be out soon.
That night or the next I will be calling a special leadership meeting where the leadership team will be discussing whether to pursue this case further (in the event the outcome isn't favorable or completely what we're looking for). The question I have for you is: are you still behind us? If we elect to take the case to the Supreme Court it will be no inexpensive endeavor. I can't quote you a price yet or how much we'll need -- but I can say it'll be substantial, even if Dean continues his very VERY generous rate/fees.
So let me ask you: Can we count on you to donate AT LEAST $100 to help us take this case to the next level, if need be? If we can count on you, email me at PHofmeister@miopencarry.org or write a reply in this thread. The amount of support we appear to have will certainly be one factor in our decision to pursue the case further, if needed.
I can certainly appreciate times are tight. Please be assured we are doing our best with the resources we have to fight the good fight. I hope you will stand with us.
I appreciate your consideration on this matter.
