I'm sure a good number have seen this, but it was news to me.
I hoped this was over with for a while.
Just received this from the NRA:
Rhode Island: Concealed Carry Law Under Attack
Tomorrow afternoon, on June 4, House Bill 6160is scheduled to be heard in the House Judiciary Committee upon “rise of the House.” Sponsored by Representative Larry Valencia (D-39), House Bill 6160 would remove the town clerk and sergeant from the list of licensing officers for concealed carry permits. This legislation would impact residents of small towns like Exeter, without a chief of police, and force gun owners to apply to the Attorney General for concealed carry permits. Attorney General-issued permits can be “may issue” in practice. This transfer of powers would effectively change the current “Shall-Issue” law to “May-Issue,” making it much more difficult for those who wish to exercise their constitutional rights to obtain a carry permit. It is important that you contact the members of the Rhode Island House Judiciary Committee as well as Rep. Valencia and respectfully urge them to oppose House Bill 6160. This legislation would set a dangerous precedent for letting towns circumvent Rhode Island’s concealed carry law, which could greatly impact your inherent right to self-defense as a citizen of the Ocean State.
