HB 1787 -- Firearms and Defensive Use of Force

Sponsor:  Jones (117)

This bill specifies that an individual who owns or leases private
property may use deadly force against a person who unlawfully
enters, remains after unlawfully entering, or attempts to
unlawfully enter the property.  The owner or lessor of the
private property does not have a duty to retreat from the
property.

The minimum age requirement for obtaining a concealed carry
endorsement is lowered from 23 to 21 years of age.  To process a
change of address for a concealed carry endorsement, the sheriff
of the new jurisdiction may charge a fee of up to $10; and a
sheriff may charge a fee of up to $10 to change the name on an
endorsement.

The possession of antique firearms, as defined in 18 U.S.C.
Section 921, will be exempt from the provision that specifies a
person commits the crime of unlawful possession of a firearm if
he or she is a convicted felon possessing a firearm.
