SUMMARY AS PASSED: (all summaries)

Concealed weapons. Makes the following changes in the concealed weapon and concealed handgun law: allows a person to carry a concealed weapon without a permit while in his own place of business, provides that the training required prior to issuance of a concealed handgun permit never expires unless specified on the training documentation, requires a clerk of a circuit court to give an applicant written notice of his right to an ore tenus hearing upon denial of his concealed-carry permit, and specifically defines "under the influence of alcohol or drugs" for the purposes of the misdemeanor of being under the influence while carrying a concealed handgun in a public place. The bill further provides that a petition for review of denial shall be filed with the Court of Appeals within 60 days of denial or hearing instead of 30 days. It requires circuit courts which require proof of competency with a handgun to deem current military service or an honorable discharge such proof for the purpose of issuing a concealed weapons permit. Finally, it requires the chief law-enforcement officer of the last agency from which a law-enforcement officer retired to issue written proof of the retired officer's qualifications for exemption from the requirement to obtain a concealed weapons permit.
