How did this bill even get past Bonnen's Democrat committee gatekeepers for a floor vote?
There are more good bills progressing than would have been the case, had people not responded to my article. Bonnen will never admit it, but the pressure was intense!

Thanks to everyone who got involved, your efforts are being rewarded.

Chas.

That's good to hear, I haven't seen a lot of movement on some of them, and I was not getting much positive feedback from committee members, or even my reps.
Thanks for your help Charles, and for keeping us updated. :tiphat:

I got into a discussion with a capt in our agency on this well the concealed part, a zip up pistol case/rug in a vehicle's seat in open view, he said illegal as showing a handgun present I asked him to open it nope no G32 but a Butterfinger bar, no firearm, he was not impressed, well illegal he did say no then yet it was prior...… We returned to our briefing I still had zipper case, just got a strange look and not discussed anymore at all.

So was a zipped up case illegal to you???????
Nope!
Concealed is concealed, if a white hanky covers it, then it's concealed. Just like a hard plastic case with Smith and Wesson written on it. Assuming, based on experience, does not change the law. Guns can be carried in a multitude of containers, and a multitude of other things can be carried in containers designed for guns. Besides, LEO can ask if there are any guns in the vehicle, so concealed or not, they would still be made aware,( at least by those who are honest)
