So when they reconvene @ 11:00 this morning, they'll still be in discussion of the 308 amendments? Will that idiot Scott still have the floor?

LEO's don't have to get a CWP...that's federal law. HR218 makes them exempt from all state firearm carry laws. I'm a reserve deputy in the upstate and we have been told we can carry into restaurants that serve alcohol so long as we don't drink. They don't want us drinking period, carrying or not, unless we're in a different county.

Yes. They will be talking about amendments as long as there are amendments on the desk. Whoever has the floor has the floor until they relinquish it. In theory, he could run the clock out on this session if he were to find enough things to talk about.

That may be the case. Regardless, the version of S-308 returned from the House makes provision for retired LEO's to meet the proof of training requirement, but not for active duty LEO's. They want to change that so it's consistent for both. As I said, I think they should be treated like everyone else, but it's not really priority one as far as I'm concerned.
Don't like that example, here's another. The version of S-308 returned from the House limited a "valid photo ID" to a drivers license (for most people). The amendment offered attempts to fix that little faux pas.

I just read the whole thing at length and at the end I noticed that it says that with a CWP, it can be under the seat and any other passenger compartment, opened or closed. Am I reading this correctly?
I also just got an email about the legislative updates and it says it was "returned to House with amendments". So I'm confused as to how this whole legislative process works. Does the House now just have to approve the senate's new amended version and that's that?

I believe I'm correct in saying that if the House doesn't change it one bit, then votes to pass it, on to the governor's desk it goes.
My question is.....what are the amendments?

If you got the email on Tuesday, it was a clerks error and was corrected later.

There's the bill. You can compare it with previous versions to see what changes have been made over time but I don't know if you can see what changes were made this last time.

You are correct HR-218 take president over any state law. Some of the states have attempted to press their own law onto retired officers and make they possess a state CWP, but they lost in court. While the states says I can't carry in a restaurant, Federal law says I can. I really wish these guys would stop the crap and allow its citizens the right to protect themselves. When I was active duty, I always supported a citizens right to carry....I would go so far as saying you shouldn't need a permit and could open carry if that is your desire.

Funny how 3 previous "nays" were absent for vote this time. Maybe seeing Colorado's recall made them ill? :sarcastic:

In reading the amendment as adopted, it appears to not mention anything about active duty or retired cops. I wish they archived the video's so I could see if I misunderstood what they said, or they changed it.

It is sad but stupidity sells....Look at all these southern based reality shows that make us all look like hicks to the rest of the country.
Folks are laughing all the way to the bank.
Looks like it was advanced? I guess the Governor can sign it now?

So I guess we need to get on the horn with our state rep. & tell 'em to not amend the thing one bit, huh?
it even says in that article you posted that is has to go back to the house for approval since a new amendment was added in the senate.
