Delegate Cole has resubmitted his bill that was illegally killed in the subcommittee. This is not a high profile issue, but current law allows you to be convicted of a gun crime for merely forgetting your wallet on you dresser in the morning. They say LEOs are "supposed" to use common sense in this matter... I don't want to bet my clean record on a LEO that happens to hate guns and law-abiding CHP-holders.
