One measure would prohibit residents of other states from buying handguns here.
A separate bill would allow concealed carry permit holders to carry at schools, universities and liquor establishments.
Among other things, that measure would:
House Bill 136 (HB 136) would allow individuals with a valid license to carry a concealed handgun to carry more than one concealed handgun at one time. The bill would also allow a concealed handgun permitee to carry concealed handguns on school premises, preschool premises, university premises and into all licensed liquor establishments. The current law limits the individual with a license to carrying only one concealed handgun at a time, and does not allow him to legally carry a concealed handgun onto any school, preschool, university or into any liquor establishment unless the establishment does not allow consumption on premises or is a restaurant meeting certain requirements. The bill also allows those individuals with valid concealed handgun licenses to carry their handguns on buses and into state parks and recreation areas.
A third bill aims to streamline the process for getting a concealed carry permit, eliminating the need to be refingerprinted each time. It also eliminates a refresher course for people renewing their gun permits.
Expect big debates on these and other measures.
seems to me, rather than such a law, a requirement that all citizens be put on Prozac instead. What the heck is everyone afraid of the Bogey Man? Good grief..
