1996 SESSION
HB 1104 Concealed weapons permits.
Introduced by: Gladys B. Keating | all patrons ... notes | add to my profiles
SUMMARY:
Concealed weapons permits. Allows the court, in its discretion, to deny a concealed weapons permit to any individual who has been convicted of any crime which does not otherwise disqualify such person. The bill also disallows the use of hunter training and military experience longer ago than five years as demonstrating competence with a handgun and requires other minimum standards to be met by other programs (e.g., minimum qualifying scores and gun storage safety). Finally, the bill removes the requirement that retired state police officers carry written proof of consultation with and favorable review of the need to carry a concealed weapon issued by the Superintendent.
