SB 342 Concealed weapons.

Introduced by: Malfourd W. Trumbo | all patrons    ...    notes | add to my profiles

SUMMARY:

Concealed weapons. Exempts persons in their place of business from the requirements of the section which prescribes the rules for lawful carrying of concealed weapons, but imposes a penalty upon those persons (Class 1 misdemeanor plus ineligibility to obtain a permit for five years) and others not required to have a permit to carry a concealed weapon who do so while under the influence of alcohol or drugs in a public place. Proof of conviction of DUI, DUI maiming, DUI manslaughter, possession of marijuana or controlled substances while in possession of a firearm, etc., constitute prima facie evidence that the person was under the influence.

The current ban on carrying concealed weapons into certain ABC licensed premises is eliminated.

The bill requires the clerk to give a permit applicant written notice of the denial of a permit and extends the time for requesting review at an ore tenus hearing from 10 to 30 days. Application of the rules of evidence at the ore tenus hearing is specified. The time for filing an appeal with the Court of Appeals is extended from 30 to 60 days.
