AS PREDICTED.
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.
