I figured it wouldn't all make it through. Good work to all those who worked with our legislators and got this far. Sadly I work on tuesday and can't get it off. Also can anyone clarify the Capitol carry for me? Would I be able to carry in the hoover building where my wife works or just the Capitol itself?

Good. This pry won't be a popular opinion, but I like we don't have rifle hunting in most of iowa. There is no sport at all in whacking a deer from 400 yards. Between shotgun and muzzle loaders, there's enough options for me. Flame away. View Quote View All Quotes View All Quotes Quoted:

No. I meant exactly what I wrote. Too bad it is just straight wall cartridges. It limits cartridges and actually rifle types. Good.

I have already had slugs hit my barn and shed. |

Small update:
Our bill has been given a new number since it is now out of committee. HSB133 is now House File 517 Repeat: HSB133 is now HF517 We're making progress guys! Working on an Advocacy Campaign (pre-written emails) tonight, should be rolling that out within the next 24 hours. It's time to start hammering the House |

I was hoping Campus Carry would survive, but hope was all I had. I suspect the Regent's Institutions will be the last man standing.
I will continue to rely on my tactical letter opener. |

I did not see anything about the cleanup of the ATV bill
Will we be able to carry a loaded rifle or shotgun on a ATV or in a UTV |

I did not see anything about the cleanup of the ATV bill Will we be able to carry a loaded rifle or shotgun on a ATV or in a UTV View Quote There is some cleanup, but it looks like for anything other than a pistol or revolver the rules are not changed. Here is the text from HF517. (don't mind the numbers, they're line numbers from the LEGIS site). DIVISION XII —— SNOWMOBILES AND ALL-TERRAIN VEHICLES. 14 The bill modifies the requirements for carrying a pistol or 15 revolver when operating a snowmobile or all-terrain vehicle on 16 land that is not owned or possessed by the person. In addition 17 to carrying a permit to carry weapons on the person and acting 18 within the limits of the permit, current law requires a person 19 operating or riding on a snowmobile or all-terrain vehicle, 20 with a loaded pistol or revolver, to secure the loaded pistol 21 or revolver in a retention holster, if the person is operating 22 or riding a snowmobile or all-terrain vehicle on land that is 23 not owned or possessed by the person. 24 The bill strikes the requirements that the loaded pistol or 25 revolver be secured in a retention holster and that a person 26 has in the person’s possession a valid permit to carry weapons 27 which has been issued to the person, and act within the limits 28 of that permit. Thus, the change in the bill allows a person 29 operating or riding on a snowmobile or all-terrain vehicle to 30 carry a loaded pistol or revolver without a retention holster 31 and without a permit to carry weapons as long as the person’s 32 conduct is otherwise lawful. 33 The bill does not modify the requirement, applicable to most persons, that a firearm, other than a pistol or revolver, be unloaded and enclosed in a carrying case while a person is operating or riding on a snowmobile or all-terrain vehicle on land that is not owned or possessed by the person. |

Two updates
One, I'm pretty pumped about this, House leadership has been in contact with IFC and they're going to do everything they can to get HF517 (formerly known as HSB133, also known as our gun bill) to the House floor for a debate and a vote next Tuesday, March 7th. Guess what day also happens to be March 7th? You guessed it, SECOND AMENDMENT DAY in the capitol. This means there's a very good chance we'll get to see our gun bill debated and voted on live and in person. For the House leadership to adjust their schedule in order to accommodate our event is pretty incredible. HF517 is the biggest gun bill and the biggest step forward in Second Amendment legislation in state history, and we'll get to see it moving forward in person. Maybe this makes me a nerd, but I'm pretty pumped about that. I'm genuinely looking forward to meeting with you guys Tuesday. Item number two: IFC Advocacy Campaign for HF517 is LIVE The pre-written email takes only a few seconds to send, and if the House is planning to vote on our bill on Tuesday, there's no time to wait. Here's the link, please hit it and share it around! https://www.votervoice.net/IFC/campaigns/50431/respond |

I haven't seen it mentioned, did the lifetime carry license make it through, or did that get axed?

Quoted:
No it didn't make it. There were some issues with it, had to be taken out. Next year we'll get a rock solid bill. View Quote I don't think we have a problem with the bill as is. I think you will struggle to look back at history and find an instance where an agenda was able to swoop in and knock down all the pins in one shot. I'm hoping we can clear the bill as it is and maybe get one or two more pro-gun amendments on the way. Rome wasn't built in a day. We are making gains as Iowans year after year.We've also brought up these bills and are now giving them time to sink and normalize with our legislators. Don't lose sight of that. |

Yeah I'm digging the bill as it stands right now. I just meant there were issues with the permitless carry, and that will be a solid bill next year. Off to send some emails now.

If anyone has an idea when the debate will start I would like a heads up so I can live stream. Unfortunately I won't make it this year so go get 'er done guys! My rep assured me (Holz) he is in support of HF517.

If anyone can keeps us updated on what, if any, amendments pass that'd be great

A minor amendment to change verbiage regarding children so that there is "a physical presence near the supervised person conducive to hands-on instruction, and who maintains visual and verbal" contact DID pass. |
|
Wow rep Mascher...I am sure she would have been very happy to "limit" our 2nd amendment rights...what a hipocrit she is and do not even get me started on Wolfe.
Windschitl is doing a great job |
|
D-Staed says political action and a strong police force is the answer not owning arms. Guns kill more owners than bad guys. Also reading from a script. 2nd nor any right is absolute.
He obviously hasn't practiced his script he has to pause to catch his place. |
|
D-smith opposed to provision 10 stand your ground. Not reasonable. Not all Iowans are treated equally he was called racial slurs as a high school football player. He is afraid he will be considered a threat due to the color of his skin. Racial disparity in stand your ground.
References cross burning in Debuque. Now putting on a hoodie transforming him into a criminal. References hands up don't shoot |
|
D-wessel -kroeschell. Dad gave away all his guns when 1st child was born. Liked smiths putting on hoodie. Stand your ground is a law looking for a problem.
ADA says stand your ground isn't necessary. Imperical study says repeal of stand your ground decreases murder. Stand your ground is racist. Eliminate civil protections. Apparently she is going to talk a while, repeating the same things. Reiterates no guns in her home. Remembers drunk college students wandering into her childhood homes. Very gentle father helped them find their ways home instead of shooting them |

D-Forbes opposes says he has twice been a victim of gun crime as a pharmacist. 1st time guy was wanted for murder in California and he thought he was going to die. Got tied up and said if moves he will be killed.
Afraid people in their 80s while mentally ok may not be steady or capable of safely handling a weapon. At least he didn't read a script |
|
D-Abdul-samad stand your ground increases violence against minority's and violence against women. Doesn't want to be in a meeting with a mad person with a gun.
He helped a woman with eggs checking out at the store and she started shaking when she turned and saw him and said you are one of them. Asks What if she had a gun? Now going on about racial disparity including with police. Many minority's in prison because of our fears. Questions windschitl about did he consider studies when proposing. wants windschitl to educate people about people like him? Windschitl says stand your ground isn't about racial divide. |
|
D-gaskill opposed because local preemption amendment killed and training amendment of 20 hours of training not too much to ask. Liked the parental amendment.
So she can't support. Mashed up next and I can't listen to her.... |
|
D-Wolfe. Likes some provisions that were debated in the past and supports some but can't support it's too broad. Seems to oppose stand your ground provision and blames unnamed organizations of spreading false info. Offended that people think she doesn't support self defense.
Provision 10 seems to be the issue for most so far... |

Thanks for doing the play by plays guys. I'm not able to do the live feed thing. Sick of the racial card being played. The racial card is exactly why we need Constitutional Carry if they're so worried about it. If "the man" is really keeping minorities down, then removing red tape and hoops for minorities to be able to protect themselves should be a good thing. But there I go, using logic again. How can you argue against people that have no interest in facts and will push "guns bad" no matter what reasoning is thrown in their face?
|
|
D-Thede telling story of one of her volunteers that was run off a property. What if stand your ground was in effect, what could have happened. Citing bible, do not kill, how does she reconcile it? Editors note, what is her stand on abortion?
I digress.... |
|
D- Bennett citing the Florida theater shooting and something about arming kindergarteners. Also cited bar association study. Must have the same lobbyists.
Stand your ground allows criminals to kill. Now citing BLM. Cites Travon Martin case as why she wont support |
|
R wheeler supports. Not all he wants but a step in right direction. Cites laws don't stop criminals. Gives example of 77 year old legislator having to retreat from him as a 24 year old.
R-Holt supports. Says gun free areas are false protections. Quotes Washington that .gov shouldn't be denying someone their rights, because someone might abuse it. |
|

I have been watching since about 230 I liked just a little bit ago the one representative from Polk had a little tantrum and threw his arms in the air and threw himself down back into his chair
|
|
I loved how Windschitl called out Aaron in his closing remarks
Passed 58-39-3 |
|
|
|

Awesome news guys and let's keep the pressure on them to pass everything in the Senate!
|
|
Couple thoughts...
Second Amendment day was a success. Will go again. Please contact your representative and thank them for their vote and let them know you appreciate them. If you are represented by a freedom hater, then send one to Winschidtl or the others thanking them. Brad Zaun commented that the Senate has received tons of emails on the gun bill, almost entirely negative so get ready to contact your senator soon. Keep the support for the IFC, those guys did great work. |
|
Emailed my rep and windschitl thanking them both and also my Senator telling him I want him to get it to the floor and vote yes.
