Lawmaker voices opposition as gun bill faces dimmed prospects
Senator Ty Masterson said he voted against advancing the measure, arguing the data do not justify restricting constitutional rights. The bill remains alive in committee, while a near identical House bill awaits a 9:30 a.m. hearing. In 2013, lawmakers allowed concealed carry in public buildings with exemptions for local governments and higher education, with exemptions expiring July 1. SB 53 and HB 2074 would extend those exemptions. another bill would exempt the EU hospital complex from the gun law.
