This Wednesday, May 31, SB169 is scheduled for a committee hearing in the judiciary committee. SB169 would allow concealed carry of a firearm without a license anywhere in the state where an individual is legally allowed to be. SB169 would also expand the list of places where firearm owners can legally carry and make the current concealed carry licensing system optional. Residents would still be able to obtain a concealed carry license to take advantage of reciprocity agreements with other states.

Under current law, an individual can carry a firearm openly without a license; however, if an individual would carry their firearm in a purse or briefcase, or if their firearm becomes covered by a coat, they would be in violation of law unless they obtained a concealed carry license. This bill would eliminate that worry for anyone that is not otherwise prohibited from owning a firearm,

Please contact your senator and voice your support for this bill.
