[*]Introduced by Rep. Kate Ebli (D) on June 3, 2009, to establish that if the definition of “pistol” is revised as proposed by House Bill 5037 so that it applies to a firearm less than 26 inches long, rather than 30 inches, then those with a firearm that falls in that gap would still be allowed to possess, carry or transport the firearm as a pistol.
