The Senate version of the restaurant carry bill is beginning to move in Santa Fe, having recently moved to the Senate Judiciary committee, where it must pass before going to the Senate floor. However, its companion bill, HB83, remains in the House Business and Transportation Committee and has yet to be scheduled for a hearing. These bills would allow concealed handgun licensees to lawfully carry for self-defense in establishments that are licensed to serve beer and wine for consumption on the premises. Also recently introduced is SB 212, which would eliminate the unnecessary two-hour refresher course for concealed handgun licensees. SB 212 has been referred to the Senate Public Affairs Committee, but is not currently scheduled for a hearing. During this 30-day fiscal session, it is important that we make our voices heard. Please contact these committee members and urge them to defend our Second Amendment rights and support SB40, HB83 and SB212.
