SB 1122 was dropped on the last day of last month.
Licenses to Carry Concealed Weapons or Firearms: Reducing the number of years that such licenses are valid; requiring that certain persons successfully demonstrate firearms proficiency through a specified course to obtain a license; providing course requirements, etc.
It drops the number of year the license is valid from 7 to 4 while the fee remaining the same. The bill now adds an order to “demonstrate proficiency safely handling and discharging a firearm” with a 50 shot course of fire and must get a passing grade of 70. Back to the Jim Crow laws requiring a demonstration of ability before being able to exercise a Constitutional Right. “Negro can’t read? Negro can’t vote.”
The bill has been introduced in the Judiciary Committee and that means we need to start pounding them. You know our new Agriculture Commissioner Nikki “Ganja” Fried is gonna come out in full support of his really bad bill.
I will remind you again Monday to call and write.
And other than Church Carry; we don’t have a pro-gun bill in the Legislature.
And we do have a shitload of bad ones. I’ll expand also on Monday.
Sneaky assholes…they withdrew HB 753 (just the same crap) and slid this in, as if we wouldn’t notice and voice our objection. REALLY???
I still think it’s about time to clean house and senate too. No demonstrated 2A support, (such as filing or co-sponsoring pro-2A bills),= no support and no votes for election or reelection!
Time for the NRA to reset all the scores to zero until proven otherwise by real concrete actions. “If you are not with us…then you are against us.” I for one, am sick and tired of two-faced turncoat RINOs. Enough is enough.
We need to find a way to get real support in the legislature that won’t cave in or sell out. In other words “the impossible dream”. Maybe I’ll run myself in a couple of years when I retire…
