Another bill winding its way through the process. This one would notify local police if one fails a firearm background check. It doesn't appear to indicate what the police should do however upon receipt of that notification, it just indicates they should be notified. Don't see anything (yet) from CCDL on their stance with this bill. There is an amendment to this bill so the links below to the current version of the bill may not be the final one they vote upon.
