Iowa: Self-Defense Bills on the Move

 

Yesterday, the Iowa Senate Judiciary Committee passed SF 2263, important legislation that protects your ability to keep a firearm in your car in municipal and college parking lots. The bill now heads to the full Senate for consideration. Additionally, the House Education Committee has passed HF 621, legislation that strengthens self-defense protections for law-abiding firearm owners by allowing them to conceal carry while in school pick-up and drop-off areas. The bill now heads to the full House of Representatives for consideration. Please use the Take Action button below to contact your lawmakers and urge them to SUPPORT SF 2263 and HF 621.


SF 2263 allows individuals to secure a firearm in their vehicle in university and college parking lots, as well as non-secure municipal parking lots. The bill also permits licensed individuals to have a firearm in their vehicle in school parking areas. This bill also ensures that individuals transporting someone in foster care may lawfully keep a firearm in their vehicle.

HF 621 allows individuals with a valid permit to carry to lawfully conceal carry in their vehicle while picking up or dropping off someone at a school or while making a delivery. Firearms must remain secured within the vehicle and limited to school driveways and parking areas.

NRA-ILA will continue to keep you updated as this legislation progresses.
