Bill > S2164

This bill defines a "suitable person" for obtaining a concealed carry permit as someone not prohibited by state law from possessing a pistol or revolver, and who is not a clear and present danger to themselves or others, or a known member of a criminal street gang. It also establishes the reasons for applying for a concealed carry permit, allows for reciprocal recognition of permits from other states, and outlines the required information for applications, including specific time limits for approval or denial and an appeal process for denials. Importantly, records related to concealed carry permits and their appeals will not be considered public records, and the bill permits the use of sound suppressors, also known as silencers, for hunting.
