The House voted Monday to overhaul the way concealed weapons permits are issued.Currently, the decision on issuing a concealed weapons permit rests with local sheriffs, who have broad latitude to make decisions and aren't required to explain why a request for a permit is denied.Under the measure approved Monday, sheriffs would still make the decision, but there are guidelines that must be followed and a decision to deny a permit must be explained in writing. The measure also includes an expedited appeals process when a permit is denied.
