Man they are really starting early this year and from the look of it it is going to be a busy year for firearm legislation. It also looks like South Carolina is trying to become the most gun friendly state in the country.

These are all pre-files at this point but valid 2015 proposed legislation none the less

Virginia:

HB1359 would make carry permits for residents lifetime (currently they need to be renewed every 5 years)

SB689 is the companion bill to HB1359

SB694 would require background checks on all firearms sold at shows.

HB1329 would open up reciprocity to anyone carrying another state permit as long as they have photo id from that state

South Carolina:

S0105 is called the "south Carolina Constitutional Carry Act Of 2015" and that's exactly what it would do.

That's it? I'm disappointed in you Texas...

 

[SDDuc996]

I will say though, I'm really loving that more states are jumping onboard with nullifying federal laws on "guns mfg'd in state". More states need to follow suit.

 

[dc dalton]

That's it? I'm disappointed in you Texas...

Oh trust me, this is just the beginning of a HUGE list that will be coming out over the next 2 months (most legislatures don't come back until early February)

And actually these are the earliest pre-filings we have seen in years, normally we don't see these until late December

 

[dc dalton]

Not that we think it has a chance in hell of passing but NJ A3931, sponsored by Bob Andrzejczak, would make the state a shall issue state and make it one heck of a lot easier to get a carry permit.

Don't look at me, I just add them as we get them but yes, someone in Missouri is smoking dope with those pieces of legislation

[ajindfw]

I also heard about another push for Constitutional Carry which would be PHENOMENAL!

I don't know the bill number, but there's also something in the works that makes it criminal for officers sworn in Texas to enforce federal gun control laws. I imagine this is being done to protect our LE from prosecution in refusing to enforce Dear Leader's martial law.
