[Esteemed Jimmy]

H-18.5 is now on the House floor. Debate on this legislation has begun and shall last for no less than 72 hours.

[fhtagn]

Simply put, this just ensures that concealed carry permit holders are able to do so in regions they do not live. This doesn't put anyone at risk, and doesn't override any restrictions to concealed carry set by private property owners or set by laws in the regions themselves.

[Mr. Reactionary]

Excellent bill.

A few very minor comments on Section 3:

- Could "lawfully" be inserted between "person" and "possessing" at the beginning of the first sentence?

- Right to concealed carry within National Parks and National Wildlife Refuges was actually passed in real life 2009 as a rider to the Credit CARD Act and should be binding law as it pre-dates the reboot.

- Right to concealed carry within Army Corps of Engineer areas was passed last year in game as # 31 in the Dumb Regulations Repeal Act

If your goal however is to just recodify everything in 1 place so that you dont have to check 8 different sections of the US Code, that is reasonable and would mean their inclusion served a non-frivolous purpose. Not saying you should or have to remove those clauses, I mainly just wanted to clarify which of those federal properties you can already carry on.

Thanks again for this beautiful bill.

Putting in an amendment to clarify for folks:

And yes, the places in Section 3 listed were just so I didn't have to check everywhere in random places to ensure what was and wasn't included. As long as it doesn't negatively affect anything, I'll just leave them in.

[Terry the Fat Shark]

I don't really see any reason to oppose this.

[JGibson]

I share the views of my colleague dfwlibertylover. I am generally pro-gun control in my stances, but I do so support conceal carry.

[fhtagn]

I'm assuming no one has any issues with this since no one has brought up any concerns.

Since it's been like 4 days since the last post, I'll go ahead and motion for a final vote.

Have no idea why people are voting no.

The events of this morning are pretty disturbing.

[KoopaDaQuick 🇵🇸]

Aye.

[S019]

Have no idea why people are voting no.

The events of this morning are pretty disturbing.

I have no idea why people are voting "YES"

Also a question, even if this passes, can we pass a regional concealed carry ban in Lincoln, as proposed in my gun control bill

I suggest actually reading the bill. This would apply to regions that allow concealed carry. So for example, if by some very unlikely chance your gun control bill passes in Lincoln, and concealed carry is banned completely for Lincoln citizens, then this would not supersede regional laws.

[#TheShadowyAbyss]

Aye

[Dr. MB]

Aye
