Colorado Senate GOP advances concealed carry without permit
Associated Press • Updated: February 19, 2015 at 11:25 am •

DENVER — Senate Republicans approved legislation to let adults 21 and over carry a concealed gun without a permit.

Republicans argue that a constitutional right should not be subjected to a permitting process. But Democrats say getting a permit that includes handgun education is important to public safety.

The bill passed the Senate Thursday on a 18-17 party-line vote. It now heads to the Democrat-led House, where it is likely to be rejected.

The permitting requirements were passed in 2003.

what a great thing.

But wait, TX does not have no-permit-needed concealed carry, so how are they trying to be like TX with this action at all?
