I just got back on halfway through amendment 8 and saw the vote. It sounded like amendment 8 was to remove places that sell alcohol from the prohibited places. Is that correct? Did a couple R's really just vote that down?

From what I could figure out, it passed with one amendment (11). Amendment 8 was brought back up and they were all given the text. Got voted down again. I missed amendment 11 and have no clue what it was.

That was purposely made a mess. The dems continued to bring up that it was confusing and a bad bill. It is easy to understand if you know how to read a bill/law. Apparently the people sent to Helena are idiots or intended to make it confusing. They used the same tactic for lr130 in November.

Tar and feathers should be on display outside the Helena capital building.

HB  102 passed the sjc with one amendment to include secured LE offices to prohibited places for a CWP.

The other amendments proposed by the bill sponsor, as outlined earlier, did not pass. It was a very confusing and immature process, imo. Looked like amateur hour.

HB 102 will now move onto the senate floor for second reading. It will be a guaranteed shit show. Amendments will most likely be presented and libs will still claim it is bad and scary. Hopefully, there will be enough support to remain a good bill.

Gary Marbut just compared the process to making sausage.

HB 102 has been sent back to the SJC. They will have executive action on HB 102 on Friday Morning(1/29).

Gary Marbut is requesting that messages be sent to the SJC to support the sponsor's amendments to the bill, this will be known and discussed as amendment 8.

Hopefully, the SJC can make things go a little smoother and get this bill to move forward with those amendments.

Please send the SJC comments again.

I changed how the op was worded, I read back through it and it was not right. It should make more sense now.

The following 5 changes will make up "amendment 8".  

1) allow judges to prohibit firearms in areas of a courthouse outside the courtroom that the court or court employees use, such as jury rooms, prisoner holding rooms, etc.,

2) allow campuses to prohibit firearms at athletic or entertainment events with controlled access and where active armed security is provided,

3) move the effective date for campus carry from immediately to June 1st,

4) in the remedies section, allow a court deciding a lawsuit for infringement under the bill to "may" grant court costs, attorney fees, and damages to a successful plaintiff, instead of requiring a court to do that, and

5)  allow unpermitted concealed carry in restaurants that serve alcohol ("restaurant carry" - already in the bill for people with permits).

HB102 and these 5 amendments passed the sjc today. They should be heading to the senate floor for second reading next week. Message your Senator.

It's wise yhat HB102 retains the ability for a person to get a hard copy CCW permit. There are obvious reasons retaining the ability for those that want a permit for the obvious reasons.

#1 - That's OK if you want to go through the NICS everytime you want to make a purchase, and take the risk that the system will always be up.

And also if you never plan on wanting to travel out of state and carry. But those states that do away with a HC pernit, risks reciprocity changes.

#2 - Anyone thinking that permitless carry in the state gives them reciprocity in others is very mistaken. For those states going permitless w/o offering a user a permit, risk losing reciprocity in states that currently recognize but require a permit.

I believe that Kansas did a smart thing and said "any KS ID card counts as a LTC when traveling interstate."

More importantly EMAIL THE JUDICIARY COMMITTEE. It doesn't have to be perfect. Just send it.

HB 102 made it passed sjc last week and is heading to the full senate for reading. Mesaages should go to your Senator.

The ccw permitting system is huge part of this bill. I do not see the permitting system going anywhere. A message to support this bill "as is" is the best message to send to your Senator.

Just got the email update from Gary Marbut with MSSA.

Hb102 made it thru 2nd reading today in the Senate with no amendments. It will be up for 3rd reading tomorrow with just an up or down vote, no debate.

It will then be sent back over to the House for concurrence. He sees it moving through the house with no issues and may be able to make it to the Governor's desk by Monday!

Gary said that Gianforte wants this to be the first bill he signs.

HB 258 had a productive hearing today with the HJC. Sounds like the Governor's office wanted some amendments. Not sure what they were yet. The HJC will take executive action probably tomorrow and then vote on the bill.

He is a great dude. He use to teach cc classes. Always willing to discuss gun stuff and wants to see these pro gun bills pass.

It is interesting that he spoke in support of HB 258, the MT sheriff and peace officers assoc wanted changes.

Slaughter is not swamp material. Hopefully he stays that way and doesn't end up on the receiving end of too much bs from the pc types.

There are only 2 steps left:

Step 22. Enrolling. Bill is checked for accuracy and printed. Correctly enrolled bill is delivered to presiding officer of house in which bill originated.After being signed and recorded in journal, bill is transmitted to other house where same procedure is followed.

Step 23. Governor's desk. Governor either signs or vetoes bill or allows it to become law without his or her signature. Legislature may vote to override a veto if it has not adjourned or may be polled under certain circumstances if it has adjourned. (Refer to Montana Constitution, Article VI,section 10.)

How long does it take them to enroll a bill?
Link Posted: 2/10/2021 4:15:58 PM EDT
[#44]
Don't know how long it takes for enrollment, but it appears the bill must be sent to print then must be signed by both chambers before sending it on to the Governor.

And the Governor has some options:

Once a bill passes both chambers in the same form, it’s sent to the Governor.

The Governor has four options: sign the bill into law, recommend amendments to the bill, veto the bill, or take no action.

If the Governor takes no action, the bill becomes law after 10 days.


This must be why our previous POS Gov used the veto...

I get both of these standpoints. The current list of places that are off limits is kind of silly from what my research has shown. I could carry more places in Colorado than I can in Arizona. Montana is even more restrictive than AZ. I am all for allowing carry in more places. I think that if the bill is written well, no carry signs will have to be very specific to count. I also hope they aren't given force of law. Let's get rid of the resident for 6 months before you can get a permit while they're at it!

While I understand your sentiment, I have no problem with it,their house their rules. I just wont patronize those businesses. However I do feel that they should be liable for any injury or death that may have been prevented by allowing carry on their premises.

Hypothetical, and how the Left fights:

I stop to get gas and elect to pay inside. I'm carrying my handgun.

There are no "no gun" signs at the pumps but I walk towards the door and notice a sign. I refuse to take off my gun to go in and pay and pick up a soda.

Now what?

I've already filled up but I'm unwilling to go into the station unarmed and it was not disclosed that I had to be unarmed to enter the building until I already owed them money.

Free tank of gas? Get a "drive off" charge (whatever they call that in MT)? Commit a crime to pay for the gas that's already in my vehicle? Buckle under and disarm to go in and pay for the gas?

The Left, at least in the state I'm leaving in a few months would call all their friends and demonstrate outside the gas station until the policy they dislike was changed. The right does nothing. --If we want to secure our rights, we need to band together and not let left leaning companies get away with things like this whether that's through "social agitation", lawfare or otherwise.
