Firearms Freedom Act

I'm with you 100% there sniper.

Tax Ritter vetoed the bill that was passed by both state houses that would have allowed us to not have to go through ANOTHER background check if we have a CCW permit.

If he'd veto that one, you know he'll veto this one too.

+1. This would be one of the best possible things to have happen.

Here's a link to the text of the actual bill:

It's interesting to note that it appears a full-auto shotgun would be legal the way this law is worded:


(3) THE PROVISIONS OF SUBSECTION (1) OF THIS SECTION SHALL

11 NOT APPLY TO:

12 (a) A FIREARM THAT CANNOT BE CARRIED AND USED BY ONE

13 PERSON;

14 (b) A FIREARM THAT HAS A BORE DIAMETER GREATER THAN

15 ONE-AND-ONE-HALF INCHES AND THAT USES SMOKELESS POWDER, RATHER

16 THAN BLACK POWDER, AS A PROPELLANT;

17 (c) AMMUNITION WITH A PROJECTILE THAT EXPLODES USING AN

18 EXPLOSION OF CHEMICAL ENERGY AFTER THE PROJECTILE LEAVES THE

19 FIREARM; OR

20 (d) A FIREARM, OTHER THAN A SHOTGUN, THAT DISCHARGES TWO

21 OR MORE PROJECTILES WITH ONE ACTIVATION OF THE TRIGGER OR OTHER22 FIRING DEVICE.

I think I know what the intent is (a shotgun shell with multiple pellets) but that's not what it says. Interesting.

I still prefer the NH model of this legislation...but it's mostly symbolic anyway.

21 OR MORE PROJECTILES WITH ONE ACTIVATION OF THE TRIGGER OR OTHER22 FIRING DEVICE.

All that's saying is that the law doesn't apply to full-auto or burst-fire weapons.

It excludes shotguns because technically your standard shotgun shoots multiple "projectiles" in the form of buckshot... they don't want accidentally give the gov.t' the ability to take away your shotguns! haha

Yes. This would be really good. I think things might be starting to come around!
