I’m not sure if everyone here is aware that HB1045 did not pass and will not be brought up again until next year, as the Congressional Session is overfor this year.

I asked my Representative to inform me when the open carry bill HB1045 would again be read or reintroduced.Below is the Text of the bill that was introduced.
