Public School Parking Lot Bill passes house + 5 More

[rawhide]

I had my class five years before I sent in the paperwork. It went through.

Good to hear it. You may be the exception rather than the rule.
Maybe I should have stated that "many" certificates are being rejected after they become a year old. That's what many instructors are claiming is the case.

So the solution to rumors about OSBI arbitrarily assigning an expiration date when none exists in the law is to amend the law to establish an expiration date?

Come on...that' makes no sense, and you usually make sense rawhide.

What I've been able to find out is that while you are correct about the law in practice OSBI isn't honoring certificates more than a year old. Hence the purpose of the bill.

Then the correction needs to be done at the OSBI, not institute a bill to to fit what the OSBI is doing wrong.

Just reporting preliminary digging on my part. I think there's more to the story and will post when I know for sure.

Didn't they do away with the price cap of $60 for the class in the latest SDA changes? Coincidence? Possibly...

IMO the K-12 parking lot bill, HB2329 is the most important bill of the bunch. It could be a life saver to have a handgun in a vehicle parked in a public school parking lot. It was in the Pearl MS school shooting. It should also be pointed out that it has been legal now for some time for permit holders to leave a handgun in a vehicle in a Vo-Tech parking lot and there have been zero-zip-nada problems.

As a public school teacher and a handgun permit holder this bill is very important to me. Being required to leave my weapon at home leaves me undefended a great deal of time. Let's get this one passed.

"•HB2477 – Rep. Wood’s bill protecting citizens from being detained while carrying unconcealed weapons on their own property."
I was thinking this was already legal. Or are they talking about long guns?

There has been a few instances of communities and local law enforcement who have tried to stop gun owners (some licensed and some not) from open carrying at their places of business because communities and LE said it was against local ordinances. This law likely will overrule those local ordinances to make it a universal law.

Ditto on HB2329. I frequently am unable to go home to retrieve my firearm before heading to a variety of places.

so HB2329 is in the news again. A local news station has asked me to do an interview for it.

Most of you know where I stand on 2A. What other thoughts would you like me to pass along?
