On Monday, February 20, the Colorado House of Representatives will vote on final passage of two pro-gun bills, House Bill 1064 and House Bill 1092.
NRA-drafted HB 1064, introduced by state Representative Amy Stephens (R-20), would prohibit the state or any government agency, during a declared state of emergency, from prohibiting or restricting the otherwise lawful possession, use, carrying, transfer, transportation, storage, or display of a firearm or ammunition; seizing or confiscating a lawfully possessed firearm, or requiring registration of a firearm or ammunition for which registration is not otherwise required by law.
NRA-supported HB 1092, introduced by state Representative Kevin Priola (R-30), would allow for the lawful carrying of a concealed firearm without the necessity of a state-issued concealed handgun permit. This bill would also provide for the legal and lawful carry of firearms on college and university campuses as well. HB 1092 would not repeal the current concealed handgun permitting system because state reciprocity and the lawful transportation of a concealed firearm in reciprocal states is a key element in this process.
HB 1064 and HB 1092 are critical pieces of legislation for residents of the Rocky Mountain state. Please call AND email your state Representative TODAY and urge him or her to SUPPORT HB 1064 and HB 1092. Contact information for your state Representative can be found here.
