Also, all members should be contacting their Senator and voicing support of HB875. It is imperative that we let the Senators know that we want to see HB875 passed. Be short and to the point in all communications with your senator. As we have stated in the past and continue to state, please show your elected officials respect when contacting them in any manner. Threats of never voting for them get you nowhere very quickly and hurt, rather than help our cause. ====================

sweet

thanks!

In its current form, the bill (HB 875, also called the “Safe Carry Protection Act”) would allow carry permit holders to carry into places of worship, bars, some government buildings, and removes the requirement to pay for fingerprints again when renewing a permit.

The bill also includes provisions for allowing designated persons to be armed on school campuses.

Further, the bill also clarified that the government has no power to regulate or confiscate firearms during times of emergency.

The bill also clarifies and improves several other items that were inconsistent and/or vague under the current carry laws

Please take a minute and CALL. Calls have much more weight than Emails. Better yet, do both.

Sent an email last night to each of the representatives. Really hope they don't remove the portion about campus carry being a $100 fine and no arrest if caught. Pretty much saying it's "illegal" but most GWCL I'm sure would risk the small fine.
