Bill > SB0110

This bill amends the Firearm Concealed Carry Act by removing the previous prohibition on carrying firearms on public transportation and in public transportation facilities. Specifically, the bill eliminates language that previously prevented licensed concealed carry permit holders from carrying firearms on buses, trains, or other forms of transportation paid for wholly or partially with public funds, as well as in buildings, parking areas, and other properties associated with public transportation facilities. The change essentially expands the locations where individuals with a valid concealed carry license can legally carry their firearms, removing the specific restrictions related to public transportation. This modification provides more flexibility for licensed gun owners by removing a previously existing limitation on where they can transport their firearms while using public transit systems. The bill becomes effective immediately upon enactment, meaning the changes to the existing law will take effect right away.
