[QUOTE="hrdware, post: 1770031, member: 24475"] First off, welcome to the forum. As for an explanation, that's where it gets complicated but I'll try and walk you through it. There are 2 open carry bills in the legislature this session HB2522 and SB1733. They both started out pretty much the same with regards to open carry. Open carry with a concealed weapons permit, so yes, if you printed or had accidental exposure it wouldn't be a big deal any more. Between the two bills HB2522 was the better bill since it provided additional things, adding ammunition to the parking lot exemption, unlicensed open carry on your own private property, changing the notification to police from "first contact" to "first opportunity", reducing the failure to notify fine. And a couple other things. Both bills passed their house of origin. When HB2522 got to the Senate Public Safety committee, they completely gutted the bill and inserted language that is closer to constitutional carry. In order to open carry under this language you would have to take a NRA or CLEET level safety course and carry around your certificate of completion. SDA licensees would not be grandfathered in. There is now an amendment to this that would allow SDA instructors to do the same thing. When SB1733 got to the House Public Safety committee, they did a legislative cut and paste and replaced the entire text with the engrossed version of HB2522 that passed out of the house. Both bills are now waiting for passage in the opposite chamber and if they pass there, they go back to the chamber of origin for approval of the changes. The reason I say one bill was gutted and the other replaced text is because HB2522 had completely different language inserted into it while SB1733 had additional language, but the basic idea of the bill was retained. So, you have probably heard things about both bills and they are correct. It is just a matter of time now to see if one or the other gets passed or if the two go to a conference committee to be reconciled and then voted on. There is still a lot of possibilities left before time runs out. [/QUOTE]
