Call to action!!! House Bill 1009, House Bill 1049, House Bill 1050

[mahkcod]

Last Friday, January 16, additional pro-gun legislation was introduced to protect Colorado business owners who respect your right to carry concealed.
House Bill 1127, introduced by state Representative Gordon Klingenshmitt (R-15), would grant immunity from civil liability to places of business which recognize your right to protection and self-defense by respecting your right to carry concealed on the property. This bill has been assigned to the House Committee on State, Veterans and Military Affairs but no hearing date has been set yet.


In addition, three bills which are vital to protecting your Second Amendment rights have been scheduled for their respective committee hearings in early February.
On Monday, February 2, the House Committee on State, Veterans and Military Affairs will hold a hearing at 1:30 P.M. in Room 271 to hear testimony on the following three pro-gun bills, all of which benefit law-abiding gun owners:


House Bill 1009, introduced by state Representative Steve Humphrey (R-48), would repeal the rights-infringing legislation passed into law during the 2013 legislative session that arbitrarily limits the number of rounds you can use to protect yourself and your family to 15 rounds.
House Bill 1049, introduced by state Representative Justin Everett (R-22), would extend the protection and right to self-defense you currently have in your home, to your place of business.
House Bill 1050, introduced by state Representative Janik Joshi (R-16), would repeal the ineffective and rights-infringing private transfer background check law that passed during the 2013 legislative session.


Please call and email members of the House State, Veterans and Military Affairs Committee and urge them to support HB 1009, HB 1049 and HB 1050. These important pro-gun bills are critical to restoring your rights in the Centennial State!

Ryden is not a supporter and just won another term. Gonna be tough with her. How is she chairmen?

[PugnacAutMortem]

Here's hoping for something good to happen, but these bills have less than 0.000000001% of making to the floor, let alone getting passed. And even if they happen to get passed in both houses by some miracle, Hick will pocket veto the ever-loving shit out of them. The GOP is going to need total control of both houses and the governorship if they ever want to repeal any of this gun legislation.

Dims hung on to the house, and when you run the house you get to make the committee assignments, so all the chairpersons are your loyal soldiers, and you make sure your party has the chair and a majority in every committee.

Gun owners really are their own worst enemy.

Point of fact: There is no "pocket veto" in Colorado. If by some miracle this legislation makes it to Hick's desk, he either has to sign them into law immediately, explicitly veto them, or they become law without his signature in 10 days.

I thought if you owned a business you could carry there?

You can, if you are in control of the property. The Make My Day law doesn't apply outside of the home though.

I was unaware of that. I figured that would be his choice though if it were an option because its the easiest way to weasel out of going on the record.

Still, no reason not to do what mahkcod asks and contact these folks. Push them, if they just kill it in committee then the D's in that list have to start feeling vulnerable.

Good info that I was unaware of, that the house controls all the committee heads.
