Gotta get me one of them guns that shoot underwater.

 

[NMCB 133]

Unfortunately, SB 5444 continues to move forward.



A snippet from the second Senate Bill Report:

Summary of Bill (Second Substitute):

• The following locations are added to the list of designated places at which it is a gross misdemeanor for any person to enter while knowingly possessing a weapon:
• public libraries;
• zoos or aquariums accredited by the Association of Zoos and Aquariums or the Zoological Association of America; and
• transit stations or transit facilities including all passenger facilities, structures, stops, shelters, bus zones, and other properties owned, leased held, or used by a transit authority for the purpose of providing public transportation services.

These prohibitions do not apply to individuals who maintain a valid conceal carry license, correctional personnel, or the activities of color guards and honor guards, including staging and logistical requirements, related to burial or internment ceremonies.

Sad but true. They (the Democraps) keep turning up the temperature one step at a time, boiling the frogs. We are the frogs. Any frogs ready to jump out of the pot yet?

Apathy breeds bad laws...

FACT----You give in just once and those A-holes will go for more. That's the same attitude that's got us where we're at now.

Very true. Anti-gun laws = D votes for them to stay in power. If all the guns were gone it would probably be knife laws, just like in England. The courts are where they are vulnerable. King county means Ds will be in office so very hard to fight that imo. The courts are the way to fight imo.

I am more than a little surprised that no one has noted that this bill also applies to KNIVES - with no exemption on carrying any knife yet carved out for CPL holders.

I'm feeling so safe knowing the criminals and gangsters will no longer be carrying guns and knives.
I mean, these laws are written to prevent crime, right?

SB 5444 is still active and progressing.

 

[Mayberry59]

I heard it passed today, waiting on the governor to sign.

 

[ATCclears]

Final(?) language of SB 5444. It doesn't give an effective date in the language, so I assume it is effective now since it was signed by the Governor on March 26, 2024.

Law takes effect June 6th. Per the article in Clark County Today.
At least it exempts conceal carry permit holders.
