Biedermann), HB 1927 (Rep. Schaefer), HB 1587 (Rep. White), and SB 540 (by Sen. Springer) These NRA-backed proposals would allow law-abiding citizens to carry a handgun without a state-issued License To Carry (LTC).  The existing LTC law would not be repealed.  Criminals who are prohibited from possessing firearms (i.e., felons, fugitives from justice, individuals committed by the courts for mental illness, domestic abusers) would still be barred from carrying guns.  It would not prevent the enforcement of any laws broken by criminals who misuse firearms.   LEGAL & LEGISLATION Montana: House Approves Emergency Powers Legislation, Sending it to the Senate Today, the Montana House passed Emergency Powers Legislation, House Bill 504, by a 67 to 32 vote.    LEGAL & LEGISLATION Colorado: House Committee Passes Mandatory Storage Legislation Yesterday, The House State, Civic, Military, & Veterans Affairs Committee passed House Bill 1106 by a 7 to 4 vote.   LEGAL & LEGISLATION South Dakota: Last Stop for Two Pro-Gun Measures Last night, the House State Affairs Committee approved pro-gun legislation, Senate Bill 100 and Senate Bill 111.    LEGAL & LEGISLATION North Carolina: Senate Passes Worshipper Protection Bill Yesterday, the Senate passed Senate Bill 43 by a bipartisan majority of 31-18.

The first bill, so-called "universal" background check legislation, would criminalize the private transfer of firearms. The second bill, sometimes inaccurately described as legislation to close the "Charleston loophole," would undermine the Second Amendment right by permitting the federal government to delay a firearm transfer indefinitely without proof that the transferee is prohibited from possessing firearms.
