The new law introduced will be an ammendment to the existing statute covering concealed waepons. Basically, it says that if you DON'T have a concealed weapon permit already, BUT IF you would have met all the legal criteria to do so, then you can carry a concealed weapon anyway.

The way I see it is it's for law-abiding citizens who don't see the need to go through all the hoops to get a CWP, figuring they'll never need it, but then something changes abruptly in life and all of a sudden they do have a concealed weapon on them.

I haven't heard much public comment on it yet. The Legislature convenes tomorrow and will be in session for 40 days. I'm sure the press coverage will intensify soon.
