Weekly Roundup!

Not a lot happened up in Carson this past week with just one exception.

A.B. 21 received its first hearing. Only the Nevada Sheriff’s and Chief’s Association is for this bill that will increase our CCW fees and make renewals 500% more expensive than current. As mentioned in the recap below, we still need everyone to email the members of Judiciary Committee and tell them to let this bill, in its current form, die in committee.

A.B. 95 is still waiting for its first hearing in the Government Affairs Committee. This is the bill that would prohibit the confiscation of firearms during a declared emergency. If you haven’t sent an email to members of the committee, please do so and tell them that you fully support this excellent bill.

A.B. 107 will have its first hearing next Wednesday, 2/28, in the Judiciary Committee. Please see my commentary below. This is the bill that would classify your “Old Timer” pocket knife as a “dangerous knife” and would prohibit the carrying of it on school property, in your car on school property, etc. I can’t support this bill unless they make some changes, especially the blade size. Please let the Judiciary Committee know that this bill needs to be fixed or dropped.

S.B. 92 is waiting for its first hearing. This is the extraordinary bill from Senator John Lee that will eliminate Clark County’s unique ordinances regarding firearms. It’s not too early for you to contact your state senator and let him or her know that this is a “must pass” bill!

I will keep ever vigilant on these and other bills coming out of Carson City. Please feel free to comment and let me know what you think about them and be sure to let your legislators know how you feel too!!
