Robert, do it anyway. Also, hit the tweet link. The point is to overwhelm them with contacts to prove to them that fighting with us will get them tossed out of office.
Even if you can’t get the rep who pissed you off, you can get their allies. Some of the reps in the safest Dem districts left office because they couldn’t stand life as a minority party member.
I got lots of friends in NC and find myself there from time-to-time (I’ll give you a call next time, Sean!) and while my permit is recognized there I don’t carry because the people I visit aren’t gunnies and I so frequently find myself in gun-free zones guarded by nothing but the threat of felonies.
I also think lots of anti-gun politicians affirm each other, and they lose sight of how many voters there are out here who demand the RTKBA. Lots of courteous, well-written inquiries from all manner of voters might crack that smug assumption that all of us are dangerous blustering buffoons.

Being located in Asheville, sadly my rep is going to say “HA!”.

We’ll take our wins where we can get them.

Restaurants are the big one.
