Late last Friday, the Legislature gave final approval to HB 641, the NRA-backed Right-to-Carry Reform Bill sponsored by Representative John Heaton (D-Carlsbad) and Senator Shannon Robinson (D-Albuquerque). HB 641 lowers the minimum age requirement for a Concealed Handgun License from 25 to 21, extends the term of a license from two to four years, gives DPS the authority to enter into reciprocal agreements with other states, and makes other improvements to the law. HB 641 has been sent to Governor Bill Richardson (D) for his expected signature. Thank you for your calls and e-mails in support of HB 641 this session—they made the difference
