Earlier this week, NRA-supported Assembly Bill 499 passed the state Assembly by a unanimous vote and will now move to the Senate. AB 499 would authorize a person with a valid license to carry a firearm capable of being concealed on the person, consistent with the terms of that license, while engaged in the taking of deer with bow and arrow. AB 499 has not been assigned its next hearing date at this time.
Also earlier this week, anti-gun Senate Bill 347 was sent to the Senate Committee on Appropriations suspense file due to its fiscal impact. This bill could come up for a vote in the Senate Committee on Appropriations as early as May 27. SB 347 would add to the list of misdemeanor convictions that would result in a 10-year prohibition on the possession of firearms.
