What it does

This bill relates to the conveyance of firearms in or on certain vehicles. Current law prohibits a person from operating or riding a snowmobile or all-terrain vehicle with a loaded firearm in the person’s possession unless the person is operating or riding the snowmobile or all-terrain vehicle on land that is owned, possessed, or rented by the person, and the person’s conduct is otherwise lawful. Additionally, a person may operate or ride a snowmobile or all-terrain vehicle with a loaded pistol or revolver on land that is not owned, possessed, or rented by the person, if the person’s conduct is otherwise lawful. The bill strikes these prohibitions and exceptions.
