A lot of positives on the plate for Maryland. With a new Republican Governor, (can't believe I just wrote that) perhaps some goods news will come out of the "Free State".

Here's an update for you Pennsylvania people. HB503, which came in a few days ago got the bill text added today and when I say this is the scariest bill I have seen in PA in years I am not kidding.
How about 100% mandatory firearm registration with PSP, required to be done annually?
The chances of this thing passing are slim but none the less every PA person should keep an eye on this atrocity of a bill.

New today and Illinois people pay special attention to HB2671!
Illinois:
HB2720 would stop municipalities from revoking liquor license because the owner allows concealed carry
HB2724 would require concealed carry holders, or non-residents carrying to allow emergency services personnel to secure their firearm during the 'duration of contact'
HB2721 would prohibit employers from punishing employees for storing a firearm in their vehicle
HB2659 would set up an additional tax on all firearms to be used for 'at-risk' youth programs
HB2671 is a full out 'assault weapons' ban bill, a ban on 50 caliber rifles and a ban on any handgun that can accept a magazine that holds more than 10 rounds unless the firearm is registered with the state (along with a fee of $25)
It also would prohibit the owner to transfer any registered weapon to anyone except an heir.
Anyone found to be breaking this new law would be charged with a class 3 felony for the first charge and a class 2 felony for subsequent charges.
The bill also contains a high capacity magazine ban for anything over 15 rounds.

Texas has two proposals regarding open carry filed for discussion this session of the legislature: Constitutional Carry and Open Carry for concealed carry licensees. I would like to see Constitutional Carry,but due to many things historically in Texas, not to mention the antics of the Open Carry folks carrying long guns into coffee shops and restaurants, even open carry of unloaded holstered cb revolvers on the state capital grounds, I dont see that happening. Open carry for CCL holders has a better chance of passing.

Well folks here we go again, this time in Illinois, a full registration of ALL firearms owned by civilians!
In today SB1413 would require the registration of all firearms with the state police, applicants would have to supply the following to the state police:

The make, model, manufacturers name, caliber and serial numbers of all firearms
The date the applicant acquired the firearm and the name, address and phone number of the person (or dealer) the firearm was purchased from
Any information on the applicant about their mental state as judged by a court, board or any other lawful authority
An authorization and release to obtain information relevant to the person's eligibility and a waiver of right to confidentiality
Applicants right thumb fingerprint
2 color photos that must have been taken no more than 30 days prior to the application
The bill also states that once a person has been denied and filed an appeal that is also denied they must surrender their firearms to the state
Pass this one along to all your friends in Illinois!

Did illinois already solve their real problems before focusing on triple and quadruple layers of oppression for their percieved firearm problem? The shear volume of proposed legislation should prompt impeachment or recalls. If they have this much idle time, all lawmakers should be restricted to part time to save money. reducing taxes would solve more problems than all of these redundant firearm bills.
But of course not, don't you know that making things 'double secret illegal' stops criminals?
Arkansas:
SB492 would allow employees to keep their firearms stored in their vehicle while at work
HB1432 would repeal the ban on carrying in a polling place
http://amgoa.org/Proposed-Arkansas-Gun-Laws
California AB529 is about the dumbest thing we have ever seen. It's not even a firearm bill but it does have to do with anyone prohibited from owning a firearm. It basically allows DMV to access a prohibited persons database and allows DMV to deny transfers, registrations for vehicles and drivers licenses if they are on the prohibited list. How does that make sense to any one?

Really disappointment in Virginia's House of Delegates.
Both the Senate and House had voted to repeal the idiotic anti-switchblade/throwingstar etc. law
Then the House came back and overwhelmingly reversed their decision.
IMO the stupidest anti 2nd amendment law in Virginia.

Man I have to tell you this is getting STUPID this year. In the three years we have been doing this we have NEVER seen this many bills come out this fast!
Anyway (sorry for the rant) here's what's new today:
Arkansas SB573 would allow employees to possess a concealed handgun in the parking lot of the business they work at
http://amgoa.org/Proposed-Arkansas-Gun-Law-SB573/State-Law/29078
Illinois:
HB3266 would prevent local governments from refusing to issue or renew any business license (most notably liquor licenses) because the owner allows concealed carry in their business
HB3278 would preempt local governments from regulating firearms or ammunition by curio and relic dealers
HB3249 would create another class of 'special citizens' by allowing 'mayor, alderman, president, trustee, marshal, or deputy marshal of a municipality' to carry firearms in municipal buildings
HB3236 would preempt local governments from imposing any taxes or fees on firearms or ammunition
HB3157 is another attempt at complete firearm registration
HB3218 would require state police to supply any and all information to an applicant that was denied a concealed carry permit and sets up a means for the applicant to challenge the denial
HB3160 is a 'Lethal Violence Order of Protection Act' bill that would require gun owners to turn in their firearms when someone 'swears' they are dangerous, very similar to the California law
HB3243 cuts the amount of training to get a concealed carry permit in half
http://amgoa.org/Proposed-Illinois-Gun-Laws
Oregon:
SB723 would allow those with a concealed carry permit to forgo the normal background check when buying a gun
SB724 would create a list of states whose requirement for a carry permit are 'are no less stringent' allowing people from those states to carry in Oregon
http://amgoa.org/Proposed-Oregon-Gun-Laws
New Jersey A4250 would change the definition of antique firearm to include handguns, have to wonder if this is in direct response the the arrest of the older gentleman with the flint lock
http://amgoa.org/Proposed-New-Jersey-Gun-Law-A4250/State-Law/29076

South Carolina H3716 is a constitutional carry bill
http://amgoa.org/Proposed-South-Carolina-Gun-Law-H3716/State-Law/29079
US Congress HB1076 has no text yet but we know this is the bill Feinstein has been ranting about, denying firearms from those on the terrorist watch list, you know, that secret list that nobody knows who is on, that is controlled by DHS and is nearly impossible to get your name off?
Remember, many of these 'legislators' have labeled gun owners as 'terrorists' so who decides what the actual definition of a terrorist is for the purposes of being 'allowed' to own a firearm?
When governments start creating secret lists and begin to use those lists to deny citizens their basic rights we have gone into a dark area much like we have seen throughout history.

Couple of bills finally got their full text in today and Wow, just WOW!
New York A05864 finally had its full text come in today. We knew it was going to be bad but holy heck.
The bill would require anyone that WANTS to own a firearm, of any type, to first get a liability insurance policy in the amount of $250,000 dollars (that's not a typo, it's two hundred and fifty thousand dollars). Also every firearm owner would be required to maintain these policies for as long as they own a firearm.
If the policy lapses it would cause 'THE IMMEDIATE REVOCATION OF SUCH OWNER'S REGISTRATION, LICENSE AND ANY OTHER PRIVILEGE TO OWN SUCH FIREARM'
If we could give this one 10 thumbs down we would.
http://amgoa.org/Proposed-New-York-Gun-Law-A05864/State-Law/29711
And another one that finally had its text updated today:
Texas SB1006 would create 'gun violence restraining orders' and as always with these type bills the language leaves the whole process open to vindictive spouses and people that might have a grudge against you. These orders can be for up to a year.
What really makes you wonder about the person that wrote this bill is this line:
'the person is entitled to submit one written request for a hearing at any time during the effective period of the order to determine whether the order will be terminated before its expiration date.'
So you get your initial hearing and then just one more shot and if the judge rules against you you are out of luck. Nice 'due process' huh?

Well folks the text of US HB1076 finally came in today (we were starting to think it was a 'state secret') and man oh man it's not good. With 15 sponsors lead by New York RINO we had a feeling but actually reading the bill is just scary.
The bill is entitled 'Denying Firearms and Explosives to Dangerous Terrorists Act of 2015'
The bill gives 'discretionary' denial powers to the attorney general to deny firearm sales to those they 'believe' might be a terrorist or may have (or intend to) aid either foreign or 'domestic' terrorists, to refuse or revoke FFL licenses for the same reasons.
Even worse there is a clause stating the AG may withhold information in a firearms license denial or revocation suit if the AG 'determines' the information would 'likely compromise national security'. It would also allow the AG to withhold information in a relief from disabilities lawsuit for the very same reasons.
Anyone denied under this bill would have 60 days to challenge the denial or revocation. Documents from the AG that are submitted to the court MAY be redacted (again under the national security umbrella) and specifically states 'The court shall not consider the full, undisclosed documents in deciding whether the Attorney General’s determination satisfies the requirements of 18 section 922A or 922B'
And of course you must understand that many 'patriot' groups within the US and most US militia groups have been labeled by some legislators as 'domestic terrorists' so where does the line get drawn? We also know that the 'no fly' list, which is also under the control of the AG is secret and many people with similar names have been added to it as suspected terrorists' while others are mistakenly added to it.
So if denied under this discretionary ability by the AG the person denied would have to hire attorneys and file a challenge in federal court which of course is extremely expensive.
If this bill is passed the abuses by the AG office could make some of the things we have seen over the past few years look like childs play.
Time to fire up the phones and the emails and tell your representatives not just no but HELL NO!

Are there a lot of 12 year olds running around the bayou with Uzi submachine guns? Since the bill specifically states Uzi are other models of submachine gun exempt? And since it also states submachine gun, are semi auto Uzis exempt? Seems like a very minute set of specifications for one law. Not that I would prefer a broader set of specifications, but this just seems silly.
