H.B. 75 will be voted on sometime this week. Your legislator needs to be encouraged to vote for this bill now.
Utah Shooting Sports Council has worked hard for this bill but now we need you to step up. After all you are Utah’s Gun Lobby.
This bill is good legislation which protects law-abiding gun-owners. It prevents us from inadvertently becoming criminals by crossing through the huge invisible restricted areas created by the current “Gun Free School Zone” definition. Current Utah law is much stricter than Federal law and all of our neighboring states. This bill reduces the zones to common sense and understandable areas.
You need to call the House switchboard now at 801-538-1029 and leave a message for your representative, “Vote YES on HB75- Dangerous Weapons Amendments.” Tell your friends to do the same.
