Bill > S2277

This bill modifies existing laws regarding concealed carry pistol permits by defining a "suitable person" as someone not prohibited by state law from possessing a firearm, unless there's clear evidence they pose a danger to themselves or others, or are believed to be part of a criminal street gang. It also establishes specific reasons for applying for a permit, outlines the required application information, and details an appeal process for denied applications, including a review meeting and the option for a trial de novo in superior court. Crucially, the bill amends the definition of "public record" to ensure that all documents, records, and proceedings related to concealed carry permit applications, reconsiderations, and appeals before licensing authorities, the attorney general, or the superior court are not considered public records, thus maintaining their confidentiality.
