Covington VA –-(Ammoland.com)- The Senate Finance committee has killed Senator Black’s lifetime CHP bill, SB 689.
The Senate Finance committee also killed Senator Favola’s bill to take away gun rights for certain misdemeanors, SB 943. Senator Favola has vowed to bring up her bill on the Floor of the Senate and attempt to get funding for it there, so we will have to keep an eye on it for the the next few days.
Next Tuesday is cross-over day when any bills in either body that have not yet been heard or their status determined will all be dead. Bills that have passed then switch from one body to the other and we start all over again with those bills as they work through the system.
House pro-gun and anti-gun bills to be heard Thursday afternoon.
