Imitation guns and open carry
I'm re-reviewing the 39 bills on this morning's House Judiciary active agenda, and we're expecting some debate on two -- maybe three -- gun bills:
HB2184 by Rep. Mark Martin allows for the open carry of firearms. Three neighboring states allow it, three do not.
HB2160 by Rep. Fred Allen would prohibit the sale of imitation toy guns to minors. I covered this news item from which this legislation stems back in January, 2008 on the blog.
HB1890 by Rep. Jane English is a version of the Castle Doctrine (a little different from the 2007 bill).
We're also expecting Rep. Mark Perry to introduce HB2211, which is similar to SB251 that failed in committee earlier in the session.
Update: None of the sponsors of these bills are here to present them, so we're moving further down the agenda. We've diverted to interlock devices and parental consent for the marriage of a minor.
