GUN BILLS SCHEDULED FOR WORK SESSION |
At the last possible moment, the Senate Judiciary Committee
has scheduled three gun bills that OFF has been working on all
session, in some cases for more than one session.
There is no question that your tireless efforts are the reason
why.
While there can certainly be changes, HB 2797 has been scheduled
for May 26 at 8 AM. This bill does nothing more than clarify
a lawful way to transport a handgun on a motorcycle and any
firearm on a snowmobile or ATV. It is non-controversial and
has had no opposition, but it is also the bill we believe most
likely to be used as a vehicle to ban licensed carry in schools.
So, while it is a victory that it has been scheduled, the battle
is far from over. We still need to make sure the bill is not
turned into something its sponsor never intended.
House Bills 2787 and 2792 are scheduled for June 1 at 8:30 AM.
These two bills protect the privacy of CHL holders and recognize
the concealed handgun licenses from other states respectively.
Make no mistake, it was your pressure that forced the Committee
Chair to put these bills on the schedule. But we have a long
way to go. As we have said, we believe there may be some very
damaging amendments that could be attached to these bills, so
we still need to keep the pressure on to make sure they are
passed with no amendments.
Committee Chairmen typically do NOT schedule bills they don't
plan to pass, but this committee is controlled by anti-gun Democrats
so they might very well have some tricks up their sleeves. Don't
stop now. Please contact the committee
and urge them to pass these three bills as they are with no
amendments. And thanks for all you have done, against all odds,
so far. |
