URGENT: Rep. Huberty is trying to weaken Constitutional Carry on 3rd Reading on the House floor today.
Right now in the bill there's an exception to "gun-free" zones - if you leave when you are personally told guns aren't allowed, there's no penalty.
Huberty wants anyone who crosses the threshold of a school with a gun safely in a holster to get a 3rd-degree felony - $10,000 fine or up to 10 years in prison.
CALL Rep. Huberty's office NOW and tell him to WITHDRAW this amendment.

I left a voicemail.
I believe it's important to let our legislators know our opinion. There were multiple amendments offered by democrats yesterday that were less severe and handily shut down. I personally do not expect this one to pass either and believe it to be nothing more than political theater.

I find it amusing that Rep Huberty mentioned that folks who had been calling his office to please stop....apparently the message has been heard. This is how things SHOULD work. Politely and firmly let your opinion be known.

In person is best, but not always feasible. Phone calls and hand written letters are good as they show you took time out of your day to make your opinion known. Emails are the least effective, but that does not mean it has zero impact. The key though is to be polite. Folks that are rude are just going to be ignored as a "nutcase". Don't let your message get lost in your delivery!

Does the final version include the need for personal notice (written or verbal) beyond just a sign?

Is it the same as 30.06 where missing a sign is a Class C, and failing to leave after being told to do so is a Class A?

Would be nice if HB29 was mandatory instead of "may", for secure weapon storage options in public buildings that prohibit weapons.
Storing my gun in the car when serving jury duty is not a happy thing.

At least "may" is a start.
