02.21.14 PRO GUN BILLS HELD OVER AGAIN

Two good gun bills were held up again in the Senate Judiciary Committee yesterday.

Citing “paperwork issues,” House Bill 4035 , which allows corrections officers to travel to and from work with their own defensive firearms and HB 4068,  which corrects  mistakes in current law dealing with minor marijuana convictions, have been held over until next Tuesday, the last day the committee can hear bills.We don’t know if these bills are being held up to gain leverage in passing the now stalled SB 1551, Prozanski’s gun registration expansion, but we will continue to monitor them closely.

Please consider one more message to the committee members.

Dear Senator,

Please avoid any more delays in the clean passage of House Bills 4035 and 4068. These are simple, non-controversial measures that deserve your support.
