The way that 30.06/07 are worded they only apply to "License Holders" meaning those carrying under the authority of an LTC. Since LEOs carry under an authority other than an LTC, then they are no subject to that at all, and never were.ScottDLS wrote: ↑Thu Jan 10, 2019 9:32 amOr we will theoretically be back to 1995-1996 when 30.05 purportedly applied to everyone, licensed or otherwise allowed to carry. Or was it 2001 when the exception to 30.05 for LEO and CHL was added?srothstein wrote: ↑Thu Jan 10, 2019 12:02 amYes, there is no exception for anyone in the proposed 30.06 and 30.07. This will get all of the police organizations to oppose it very quickly. Whether we like that part or not, we need their cooperation to get anything like this passed.

Re: HB 357 - Unlicensed Carry (Stickland)
It makes 30.06 & 30.07 apply to all persons, including Security Officers and Body Guards, which are not currently subject to those sections. Pretty sizable oversight.PriestTheRunner wrote: ↑Thu Nov 15, 2018 12:57 pm That is quite the bill.... Sheesh there is a lot of distributed code.
Looks like it makes constitutional carry apply to all, and makes 30.06 and 30.07 only apply to 'unlicensed persons'.
It would likely only make it through with additional provisions for what a license holder can and cannot do- but considering when have been vetted by the state, we should be able to carry basically anywhere...
Doesn't address: GFSZ act, courtrooms or 30.06/30.07 for license holder as best as I can tell. Which makes sense, I would rather see this go through than nothing and GFSZ act is going to carry some baggage and expend some political capital.
Not saying we shouldn't get rid of GFSZ but this is a step in the right direction. Only one way to eat an elephant...
