I'm not seeing that, at all.

750.227(1) generally prohibits concealed carry* of stabbing or cutting weapons.
750.227(2) prohibits concealed carry* of pistols, unless the individual has a CPL.

HB 2029 amends the above statutes by removing section 2 completely and replacing it with specific language that says that the section does not apply to concealed carry* of pistols (removing the contingency of having a CPL), NOR does it apply to "hunting knives" (just as it didn't before). It is merely a housekeeping shuffle to move BOTH specific items excluded to follow section (1) vs adding concealed pistols exclusionary language to section (1).


*Concealed carry includes carry in a vehicle, whether concealed or otherwise.
