What’s in it

Unless otherwise permitted by law, current law generally prohibits a person from having or carrying a gun in or on a vehicle on a public highway unless the gun is taken down or totally contained in a fastened case and with its barrels and attached magazines unloaded. A person conveying an assembled, unloaded gun is subject to a scheduled fine of $35. A person conveying a loaded gun is subject to a scheduled fine of $70. This bill repeals the prohibition and strikes the associated scheduled fines.
