Adoption; May 20, 2013; Journal Page 2178: 30 Yeas, 1 Nay


YCT Nay. While YCT supports the meat of the legislation in HB 508, Amendment 1 gives elected officials the ability to carry a concealed handgun virtually everywhere in the State. While we would wholeheartedly support this measure if it included the general public, elected officials should live under the laws they write and not afford themselves special privileges.
