Yep Outstanding!

And there is much gnashing of teeth already!

Also, Governor signed HB 957 the Suppressor Freedom act. Now we just have to wait for the court case to settle it!

Opposed by author on relevance to unlicensed carry. Recognized as having merit.

Fails

Thanks for LSing the process Papa Tiger! I have a work call and these people are making me crazy!!! These amendments are crazy. If a person was convicted of a felony before 1982 and is walking down the street concealed carrying while wearing a blue shirt how will the police know to stop that person?

Amendment #9 Adding White Supremacist groups to prohibited persons
Failed

Amendment #10 Adding in some other group that I missed into prohibited persons.
Failed

Amendment #8
Enhancement of criminal penalties for felons carrying upgrades 3rd-degree felony up to a 2nd-degree felony with mandatory jail time. Also, for those who have been convicted of family violence and are caught carrying then it upgrades from 1st-degree misdemeanor to 3rd-degree felony.
Approved.

I dunno if I might point of order that. This bill pertains to carry in public by unlicensed individuals, not your private property.

Forgive me if I got it wrong. Yes, this is to make it an offense if an unlicensed individual is carrying a weapon on your private property or with permission of the property owner while you are intoxicated.

Amendment #6 Sen Miles
Makes it an offense for Foster Parents to carry a weapon in their car at the same time as the foster children.
