02.18.14 Pro-Gun Bills To Be Heard in Senate Judiciary

02.18.14
Two good gun bills which passed the Oregon House are scheduled to be heard in the Senate Judiciary Committee tomorrow at 9am.
They are House Bill 4035, which simply allows corrections officers to travel to and from work with their own defensive firearms,and HB 4068 which cleans up mistakes in current law and allows those with old or out-of-state, minor marijuana convictions to have the same ability to apply for Oregon CHL’s as those with recent or in-state convictions.
Both of these bills are a step in the right direction for Oregon law.
The problem, of course, is that the committee that will hear them is chaired by Floyd Prozanski who has a history of using his position to turn every good gun bill into garbage.
Please contact the committee and ask them to pass the bills out with noanti-gun amendments.

Dear Senator,

House Bills 4035 and 4068 are simple, common sense bills that enhance rights and safety. I urge your support with no anti-rights amendments.
