Friday, March 17, the Committee on Criminal Justice and Public Safety holds public hearings on several gun bills. Contact committee members now and urge them to support pro-gun bills and oppose anti-gun bills.   

The pro-gun measures up for consideration include legislation that would prohibit gun registries, lower the ages for concealed carry and eliminate some “duty to inform” provisions.  

Anti-gun bills include:

         Legislative Document 351, which prohibits firearm owners from carrying during municipal public proceedings and in polling places.

         Legislative Document 352, which requires a firearms dealer to sell a gun lock with every firearm the dealer sells at retail.

         Legislative Document 443, which allows a municipally funded hospital to restrict the possession or use of firearms on municipally funded hospital property.

         Legislative Document 501, which requires a person purchasing a firearm to present proof of having successfully completed military firearms training or an approved firearm safety course.
