Good news!

I attended the Senate Courts of Justice committee today. Two pro-gun
bills were reported out and head to the Senate Floor:

HB 529, Delegate Pogge, allows you to pay $10 to get a new permit with
a change of address if you want one. It also says that when you get
your permit renewed, the effective date of the new permit will begin
on the date the old permit expires.

HB 873, Delegate Johnson, clarifies that proof of training for a CHP
does not expire.
