As we suspected, amendments have been introduced to neuter HB
2797, our bill to clarify how a person may lawfully transport
a firearm on a motorcycle, ATV or snowmobile.
This bill and the proposed amendments are due to be heard at
8AM tomorrow. We apologize for the late alert, but we just received
the amendments.
The amendments do several things, but as we expected, the principle
(and most troubling) change is the effort to ban concealed carry
on ALL school grounds including college property.
This simple bill may well be stuffed with 11 pages of amendments,
which will all but guarantee that the bill will die. We will
continue to do all we can to assure the bill gets a vote in
its original form.
You can see the amendments here.
We will keep you informed and keep fighting for a clean bill
and a fair vote. We thank our friends in the motorcycle
community for their efforts to move this bill forward. |
