Three bills passed out of the Senate yesterday including gun dealer licensing, a bill we adamantly oppose:

 

SB1657 Gun Dealer Licensing - Oppose

 

SB1842 Crim Cd Cloth Conceal ID - Neutral

 

SB2048 Firearm Card State's Attorneys - Support

 

In Senate committee SB234 Safety Tech (Carry on Tour Bus Prohibited), a bill we oppose, was referred to the Subcommittee on Firearms.

 

 

 

The House is scheduled for 9:30 AM today. Senate session has been cancelled.

 

While today is the third reading deadline in the House, yesterday became the deadline in the Senate since there is now no session today.

 

Plan to take a break this weekend. Catch your breath. We'll see Senate action next week but our fight in the House against Gun Dealer Licensing is about a week away.

 

Take these few days of relative quiet to spread the word. Your fellow shooters and non-shooting friends need to be active on this bill. You know who they are - the ones who always ask you for updates because it's easier to ask than to be involved. But they can't afford to be uninvolved. Not on this bill. Not this time. Not for the next few weeks.

 

We will be calling for witness slips when SB1657 is assigned to House committee, and we'll need phone calls to your Representatives, possibly through the end of May.

 

 

Next Days Scheduled

 

House: 5/9/2017

Senate: 5/2/2017
