House Bill 643, sponsored by Representative Adam Schnelting (R-104), is a companion to Senate Bill 39. These important self-defense bills would remove the prohibition on law-abiding citizens carrying firearms for self-defense on public transit property and in vehicles. In addition, they would also allow law-abiding citizens to transport unloaded or non-functioning firearms on buses. These bills would repeal an arbitrary “gun-free zone” that does nothing to hinder criminals while leaving law-abiding citizens defenseless. They would ensure that citizens with varying commutes throughout their day and of various economic means are able to exercise their Second Amendment rights and defend themselves.
