Panel combines gun storage, narrower ban in public places
House changes still supported by advocates of regulation but opposed by firearms rights groups
A bill that combines storage requirements for firearms with a narrower ban on guns in some public places is headed for a vote of the Oregon House.
The House Rules Committee, on a party-line vote Friday, April 23, approved a revamped version of Senate Bill 554 and sent it to the full House. All four Democrats voted for it; all three Republicans against it.
The changes appear to have had no effect on group support or opposition to the bill, which the committee heard testimony on April 21 and 22. Advocates of firearms regulation still support it; advocates of gun rights still oppose it.
