Restaurant
Carry Reform Measure Takes a Step Forward
Please Contact the Members of the House Judiciary
Committee Today!
On
Wednesday, March 10 the House Judiciary Criminal Practice Sub-Committee passed House
Bill 3125 by a vote of 4-2.
This legislation will now be heard by the House Judiciary Committee.
HB3125,
with an NRA-backed amendment, would enable a person who has a valid
Right-to-Carry permit to carry a firearm into restaurants where alcohol may be
served, as long as the permit holder is not consuming alcohol or is not
otherwise prohibited by posting provisions. HB3125, introduced by State
Representative Curry Todd (R-95), was filed in response to Chancellor Claudia
Bonnyman’s ruling last November. The
current law was ruled as being unconstitutionally vague because of a perceived
ambiguity over the state’s definition of restaurants. This bill, with the
NRA-backed amendment, will fix any ambiguity.
NRA-ILA would like to thank the of the members of the House Judiciary Criminal
Practice Sub-Committee for their hard work on HB3125.
Please contact
members of the House Judiciary Committee TODAY
and respectfully urge them to support HB3125.
