Please Contact the Senate Judiciary Committee and Urge Them to Support SB1070 and SB1214

Senate Bill 1214, sponsored by Senator Karen Johnson (R-18), expands the area where right-to-carry permit holders may carry a concealed firearm for self-defense to include community college campuses, universities under the jurisdiction of the Board of Regents, a private college or a private university.
