Senate Bill 296, sponsored by State Senator Scott Beason (R-17), would protect our Second Amendment rights by prohibiting any government agency from confiscating firearms or regulating the lawful sale, possession, transfer, transport and carry of firearms during a state of emergency. SB 296 is expected to be voted on by the House Judiciary Committee. SB 296 passed the full Senate unanimously in early March.
House Bill 432 passed out of the House in early March and is expecting action in the Senate Judiciary Committee soon. Sponsored by State Representative Jack Page (D-29), HB432 would make all records pertaining to pistol permits confidential, only to be used for law enforcement purposes. Any public disclosure of this information would be a Class A misdemeanor.
Please contact the members of the House Judiciary Committee and urge them to support SB296. Also please contact the members of the Senate Judiciary Committee and urge them to support HB432. Contact information for both the Senate and House Judiciary Committees are listed below.
