A House subcommittee approved a bill today with several ramifications for handgun owners. This bill will now advance for a full review by the House Judiciary Committee, possibly as soon as next week. What the Subcommittee decided:
Approved:
~ Allowing those with carry permits to take their guns into state parks, but delayed for one week a measure allowing carry in city and county-owned parks and ball fields.
~ Allowing those with carry permits to take their guns into establishments that serve alcohol until 11 PM and only if they are not drinking alcohol.
~ Making permit records of individuals confidential.
~ Criminalizing public reporting of the records by making disclosure a Class A misdemeanor punishable by a fine of up to $2500.
~ Removed the requirement that gun dealers take a thumbprint of firearms purchasers
