Senator Rick Jones wasted no time keeping the commitment he made to move second amendment bills through his committee. Today in his first Judiciary committee hearing of the year, three important gun bills were approved and sent to the Senate floor:
SB 49, introduced by
Tom Casperson - The bill would amend the handgun licensure law to specify that certain records regarding the purchase, transport, or carrying of a pistol would be confidential, would not be subject to disclosure under the Freedom of Information Act (FOIA), and could not be disclosed to any person except for purposes of the licensure law or law enforcement.

Legislation like this will help protect our second amendment rights by holding off any federal overreach by Congress or the president. It draws a line in the sand and says to the feds, "Come and take it!"
Please thank the Senators for their commitment to the Second Amendment, and thank Senator Jones for his quick action on these bills. (Just click on their names to send them an email.)
Please send a note to
Floor Leader Meekhof, asking him to move these bills quickly. As floor leader, he is responsible for putting bills on the floor for a vote.
It is important that your legislators hear from you, not just when you want to urge them to take action, but also when they have done the right thing by the Constitution. Today is a great time to do just that! It only takes a moment.
