    By a vote of 38-12, the Senate approved SB 292 which would prohibit, with certain exceptions, local government regulations that ban guns on public property. Specifically, the bill would prohibit, with certain exceptions, local rules regulating any matter pertaining to firearms, ammunition, and firearm accessories. Schools, courts and law enforcement offices would be the exceptions. Those opposing the bill emphasized public safety concerns, as guns could no longer be prohibited in public parks, hospitals or athletic facilities.
    Another gun bill raising concerns is SB 506. Approved by a vote of 43-7 in the Senate on Thursday, this bill would allow a person to carry a handgun without being licensed on personal property, in a vehicle, or on private property with consent of the property owner. Opponents expressed concerns that this bill goes too far and includes exemptions for gun licensing that are too broad. What is everyones take on the new bills that were just introduced?
