SASS 2009 Territorial Governor’s Summit Agenda

Rules and Results of voting:

> It takes a 2/3 majority (66.6% in favor) to pass an agenda item.  (None passed.)

> Any item that loses by a 2/3 & vote (66.6%) cannot be reintroduced for three years.

> Any item that had a majority vote (50+%), but failed to get 66.6% of votes can be reintroduced the following year. 

Issues & Rules:

1.  Should we adopt the circle of safety concept for the drawing and holstering of handguns from all types of holsters? Holsters must still comply with the 30 degree maximum cant from vertical requirement and handgun muzzles must remain within the four foot circle of safety while drawing and holstering.

FAILED         For 50    Against 278   Abstain 4   15% in favor

2.  Should we allow Bisley Style Hammers mated with non Bisley Style Grips and Bisley Style Grips mated with non Bisley Style Hammers?

FAILED         For 204   Against 125   Abstain 3   61% in favor

3.  Should we allow the use on adjustable sighted revolvers in all categories except Classic Cowboy and Black Powder Categories? That would be to allow them in the Duelist and Gunfighter category. They are already in all age based categories and B-Western.

FAILED         For 168   Against 160   Abstain 4   51% in favor

4.  Should we eliminate the minor safety penalty for overloading a RIFLE? This will do away with the double jeopardy penalty for overloading a rifle. Penalties for leaving rounds in the rifle would still apply but if a shooter over loaded the rifle they could clear within our rules and not be charged a penalty. (The only problem I see would be a rifle reload stage – state all reloads must come from the body.) Note this only applies to a rifle and NOT to revolver or shotgun.

FAILED         For 181   Against 148   Abstain 3   55% in favor

5.  Should we create the new sanctioned shooting category “Frontier Cartridge Gunfighter”.  The category would follow the equipment and ammo guidelines of the current “Frontier Cartridge” category and follow the shooting style requirements of the current “Gunfighter” Category.

FAILED         For 195   Against 133   Abstain 4   59% in favor

Per notes from Chuckaroo, there was a request to consider a75 years old and above category. Discussion reminded TG’s that shoots can have any category they want. It is not a requirement that categories be SASS official to be offered.
