MDA Red-shirts are in the gallery of the House. Probably in preparation for the discussion on HB 1927 later today.

HB 1407 passed the house - the bill adds a phrase allowing more options to belt or shoulder holster when in a car for a license holder. It adds:

"or
in a holster, and the handgun and the license
holder were in a motor vehicle
"

"or
in a holster, and the handgun and the license
holder were in a motor vehicle
"

Does that mean, if this passes into law, that the handgun will no longer have to be concealed, as long as it is holstered?

Loving this exchange between Reps. Schaefer and King.
Schaefer is really doing a great job.

Agreed. Rep Phil King was giving some excellent support to Schaerfer on this bill.

That's how I read it (for a license holder). My understanding is that currently, a license holder can open carry in a car (or outside the car) as long as the handgun is in a belt or shoulder holster. This new phrase adds that for a license holder, it's lawful for the handgun to be visible as long as the handgun is in some type of holster and both the holstered handgun and the license holder are in a car.

Sherman makes it sound like the bill requires people to carry, which of course it does not. Referring to "the talk" and implying this will cause more black deaths at the hands of police.

Agreed. I just wish someone would specifically state that criminals already carry guns without a permit.

HB 1927 - Constitutional Carry
Amendment 1 - voted down, but much closer than I would have expected. Amendment would have prevented the legislation from being enacted by the legislature, essentially gutting the whole bill.
