Last night at the State House the 5510 Sub A bill passed the Senate Judiciary Committee. There were some changes made that reflect some of the concerns of the firearm community such as; expedited hearing (within 15 days), The Judge maintains discretion in hearings. The words changed from "shall" to "may" and firearms can be held by a person with an FFL provided they are not a blood relative.
At this point the Bill is in limbo as it needs to go back to the House of Representatives to vote on the amendments and the House has abruptly recessed. If the House reconvenes the bill can then move forward.
We will keep you posted as we receive information.
