NM Legislature: HB 588

HB
<http://legis.state.nm.us/lcs/_session.asp?chamber=H&type=++&number=588&year
=07>  588 and SB
<http://legis.state.nm.us/lcs/_session.asp?chamber=S&type=++&number=111&Subm
it=Search&year=07>  111 change New Mexico law to allow Concealed Handgun
Licensees to carry in businesses that sell liquor for off-premises
consumption. Currently, carrying a firearm into the local food store, drug
store and stop-and-rob that sells liquor is a FOURTH-DEGREE FELONY. Both of
these bills have passed their respective chambers, but could be DOA due to
procedural red tape.

 

Please forward this to anyone you think might be interested in seeing this
important legislation pass.

"New Mexico [3/16] - 6AM!

 

HB 588 was reported to the Senate Floor last night around 8pm. It now must
pass the Senate Floor. We have today and tomorrow morning to get that done.
Unfortunately, Rep. Al Park, Chairman of House Judiciary, has stated he's
not holding any more hearings. That kills SB111 which is being heard in
House Business & Industry this morning before the Floor session. HB 588 and
SB111 are tied together. If the House doesn't hear SB111 at least through
the assigned committees, they are unlikely to hear the house bill. After all
this work, both could die.

 

Contact House Judiciary Chairman Al Park at 505-986-4411 and tell him you
want him to schedule HB 588 to be heard in his committee. 

 

SB 39 has also been referred to the House Judiciary Committee by House
Consumer & Public Affairs with no recommendation.

 

YOU MUST GET ON THOSE PHONES NOW!

 

Most importantly for SB 39, contact House Judiciary Chairman Al Park at
505-986-4411 and tell him you want him to schedule SB 39 to be heard in his
committee."
