06.13.11 CHL PRIVACY PASSES HOUSE...AGAIN |
Today
the Oregon House passed SB
347. This bill protects the privacy of certain domestic
violence victims. After passing the Senate, the House
Judiciary Committee added protections for persons who had, or
applied for, a concealed handgun license.
As you know, the House had previously passed, by a large margin,
a bill to protect CHL privacy. That bill was killed in the Senate
by Floyd Prozanski who would not even allow discussion of the
bill in committee.
When 347 came to the House, the House Judiciary Committee wisely
added the CHL protections with the obvious reasoning that it
made little sense to protect domestic violence victims unless
they had taken steps to protect themselves, at which point
their private, sensitive information would once again be made
public.
As you might expect, the more militant haters of self-reliance
were so horrified by the idea that CHL holders might be afforded
some protections, that they actually voted against
protections for domestic violence victims because they so objected
to any protections for CHL holders.
This bill will now have to go back to the Senate for concurrence
on the changes. We are going to go way out on a limb here and
predict that the anti-gun zealots in the Senate will not concur
and this bill will be dead.
On another note, HB 2792, another pro-gun bill that was "gut
and stuffed" by Prozanski is due for a vote on the
Senate floor on Wednesday.
To see who hates gun owners so much that they are willing to
vote against the victims of domestic violence, view the vote
count on SB 347 here.
