Thanks to the efforts of those who contacted their State Senators, HB 4853 was amended in the Senate to exclude ammunition. As originally passed by the House, HB 4853 could have been used to target ammunition manufacturers, distributors, users, and owners of property where firearms are lawfully discharged.
This legislation now moves back to the House, so please contact your State Representative and urge him to support the Senate amendment that removes ammunition from the scope of HB 4853.
