Finally, House Bill 2630, also introduced by State Representative Russell Pearce (R-18), would reduce the penalty for carrying a concealed “weapon” without a concealed carry permit to a petty offense.Mixed feelings here--but unless there are hidden, as opposed to the obvious implications, I'd have to admit these are improvements, and not insignificant ones. But defining exercising a right as a "petty offense"? I find that offensive in a major way.
NRA-ILA urges support for three bills. It rankles me that they are even issues, but they are, and unless someone can wave a magic wand, these appear to improve the lot of people who believe in keeping quiet and taking their chances.
