Today I passed HB09-1180 on third reading in the Senate; it will now go back to the House, hopefully they will approve.

The bill will allow you to purchase a firearm from a licensed dealer without going through the “not so instant” background check if you have a concealed carry weapons permit issued or renewed after January 1, 2010.

I had to make it apply only to new permits to satisfy the BATF – not that I want to satisfy them, but we have to follow the law until we can change it.
