Letter to the Editor: Fear Monger or legitimate warning ?

We the People: firearm related bills
There are several firearms related bills awaiting executive action by the Senate Judiciary Committee. It is anticipated we will be doing that on Monday, March 21st. I will give a brief description of each bill. House Bill 271: “Exception to concealed weapon offense if eligible to apply”, says that if you are eligible to apply for a concealed carry permit you may carry without an official permit. If you are able to qualify for a permit by having completed a firearms training course or military training you may carry concealed, no permit required. A hunter’s safety course is not adequate. It also means that those who are ineligible may not carry concealed; felons, etc. Basically under current law, you do not need a concealed carry permit outside of cities and towns, but you do when you cross the border line of a city or town. The State of Vermont has a similar law. I am supporting this bill. Judging by the correspondence I am receiving on this one, the overwhelming majority of Montanans want this bill passed.
