Robert -- As previously reported, important self-defense legislation, Senate Bill 626 and House Bill 766, were sent to the Governor's desk for his consideration. Despite having been passed with an overwhelming bipartisan vote in both the House and the Senate, the Governor has returned these bills back to their chambers of origin with recommended changes. Unfortunately, his recommendations completely negate the purpose of this legislation. It is imperative that you contact your state Senator and your Delegate TODAY and strongly urge them to reject the Governor's recommendations and pass SB 626/HB 766 in its original form.
This legislation would provide an avenue for someone to immediately protect themselves from impending harm when they have found it necessary to file a protective order against another individual. If signed into law, these bills would allow the petitioner of the protective order to immediately exercise their constitutional right to self-defense while providing them with an expedited process to get their concealed carry permit. Again, it is important that you contact your state Senator and your Delegate to strongly urge them to oppose the Governor's recommendations and pass SB 626 /HB 766 in its original form. Yours in Freedom,
