S41 repeals the requirement to obtain a pistol purchase permit, makes an exception for concealed carry in places of religious worship located on privately-owned school property, and authorizes concealed carry for certain law enforcement facility employees.
The Senate passed S41 on March 28, 2023, by a vote of 30 to 19, overriding the Governor’s veto. We have assigned pluses to the ayes because government has a duty to secure an individual’s natural and unalienable right to self-defense, regardless of their location in a place of worship or school. The Second Amendment to the U.S. Constitution guarantees that the right of the American people “to keep and bear Arms, shall not be infringed.”
