The title of this proposed bill is "Firearms Amendments."
This bill:
13 . provides a definition for a concealed firearm permit that permits, but does not
14 require, the concealment of the firearm on the permittee; and
15 . makes certain technical changes.
Here is the proposed bill:

I like this bill. It has several things in it that I think are very positive. I especially like lines 31-51 as it reinforces that only the State can make laws governing our gun rights. It specifically states that a local authority or state entity, including schools, etc. can not restrict our gun rights including your possesion on their property.
The second thing I like is lines 83 and 84: "Concealed firearm permit" means a permit issued pursuant to Section 53-5-704 that permits, but does not require, concealment of the firearm on the permittee." This does not legally define our right to open carry, but it very much suggests that we have the right to open carry.
The definitions are also good. The "House of Worship" and "Readily accessible for immediate use" I thought were both good.
I didn't find anything in this bill that I disliked. I intend to email my representative and encourage them to sign this bill. What do you guys think? Anything in this that you don't like?
