Strikes some text and adds the following:

(8 ) THIS SECTION DOES NOT APPLY TO AN INDIVIDUAL WHO CARRIES,

POSSESSES, OR TRANSPORTS A PISTOL IF ALL OF THE FOLLOWING

CONDITIONS ARE MET:

(A) THE INDIVIDUAL IS NOT OTHERWISE PROHIBITED FROM POSSESSING

A PISTOL.

(B) THE INDIVIDUAL IS AT LEAST 21 YEARS OF AGE.

As I read it, if you're 21+ you no longer have to register your guns or get a permit to purchase anymore. 18+ still need to do so until age 21.

I might be missing something, but does this also mean that non-residents no longer need a cpl to transport or possess a handgun?

That would be correct, based on my reading. Anyone over age 21 who is not otherwise prohibited would be allowed to legally carry.

It's a step in the right direction. However, I don't understand the logic of requiring an LTP for 18-20 yr olds. Either they're adults or not.

HB 4772 repeals basically everything in the criminal code regarding carry.

This is the constitutional carry we've been looking for.

If I'm reading it correctly, 4772 only does so in regard to school zones. Concealed carry of a firearm without a CPL would still be a felony. This package of bills does good stuff, but it is not a constitutional carry bill as we understand constitutional carry.

Does this keep the permit as an option so that we can carry in other states for reciprocity purposes?

Never mind, forget what I just said! I didn't notice the text repealing the various sections. Sorry, I should've read more carefully before posting.

Then it has NO chance of passing or being signed.
