| Today, the House Judiciary Committee issued a favorable report to House Bill 3094, to legalize the open carry of handguns. It will now go to the House floor for further consideration. |
|
|
| These NRA-backed proposals would allow law-abiding citizens to carry a handgun without a state-issued License To Carry (LTC). The existing LTC law would not be repealed. Criminals who are prohibited from possessing firearms (i.e., felons, fugitives from justice, individuals committed by the courts for mental illness, domestic abusers) would still be barred from carrying guns. It would not prevent the enforcement of any laws broken by criminals who misuse firearms. |

| According to reports from Capitol Hill, the Democrat-controlled U.S. House of Representatives plans to vote on two gun control bills as early as next week. The first bill, so-called “universal” background check legislation, would criminalize the private transfer of firearms. The second bill, sometimes inaccurately described as legislation to close the “Charleston loophole,” would undermine the Second Amendment right by permitting the federal government to delay a firearm transfer indefinitely without proof that the transferee is prohibited from possessing firearms. |
