The Legislature convened this week for its regular 60-day session. Several pro-Second Amendment measures have already been filed: Senate Bill 39, by State Senator Shannon Robinson (D-Albuquerque), and House Bill 163, by State Representative John Heaton (D-Carlsbad)--NRA-backed “Castle Doctrine”/self-defense statute reform legislation; and Senate Bill 111 by State Senator Stuart Ingle (R-Portales), Senate Bill 167 by State Senator William Sharer (R-Farmington), and Senate Bill 168 by State Senator Steven Neville (R-Aztec)--NRA-supported bills which would allow Concealed Handgun Licensees to protect themselves in establishments that sell alcohol for off-premises consumption.
Please contact your State Senator at (505) 986-4714 and State Representatives (505) 986-4751 and urge them to support these important measures! Contact information for your state lawmakers can be found at http://legis.state.nm.us/lcs/legislatorsearch.asp
