Ban RFAs, Regulate Concealed Carry Locations (Was: Relating to Firearm Background Checks)
SB 243 C bans rapid fire activators (RFAs) including bump stocks; allows local public entities to prohibit concealed carry license holders from bringing hidden guns into public buildings; and creates an implementation date for Measure 114 for March 15, 2026. The bill has passed out of the full Ways and Means Committee and is headed for the House floor.
Tragically, this version also includes a harmful change: the removal of the 72-hour waiting period, a concession supported by Democratic Representative Paul Evans. Eliminating this commonsense safeguard will very likely contribute to continued high rates of firearm-related suicide.
