This is some text of the Bill, What are your Impresions of it, the Anti's say it gives Would be Gangbangers and Wifebeaters CC Privleges.:
Section 7. Section 45-8-315, MCA, is amended to read:
"45-8-315. Definition. "Concealed weapon" means any weapon mentioned in 45-8-316, 45-8-318, and 45-8-321 through 45-8-328 that is wholly or partially covered by the clothing or wearing apparel of the person carrying or bearing the weapon, except that for purposes of 45-8-321 through 45-8-328, concealed weapon means a handgun or a knife with a blade 4 or more inches in length that is wholly or partially covered by the clothing or wearing apparel of the person carrying or bearing the weapon."
Section 8. Section 45-8-316, MCA, is amended to read:
"45-8-316. Carrying concealed weapons. (1) Every A person who carries or bears concealed upon his the person, if using it to commit a criminal offense, a dirk, dagger, pistol, revolver, slingshot, sword cane, billy, knuckles made of any metal or hard substance, knife having a blade 4 inches long or longer, razor, not including a safety razor, or other deadly weapon shall be punished by a fine not exceeding $500 or imprisonment in the county jail for a period not exceeding 6 months, or both.
(2) A person who has previously been convicted of an offense, committed on a different occasion than the offense under this section, in this state or any other jurisdiction for which a sentence to a term of imprisonment in excess of 1 year could have been imposed and who carries or bears concealed upon his the person, if using it to commit a criminal offense, any of the weapons described in subsection (1) shall be punished by a fine not exceeding $1,000 or imprisoned in the state prison for a period not exceeding 5 years, or both."
In Section 8 the Two added parts are the "if using it to commit a criminal offense"
My Argument is there is Laws in the MCA that Keeps Gun out of Felons hands, which is True.
