Iowa: Constitutional Carry Legislation to be Heard

[Charlie T Waite]

On February 11^th, a subcommittee of the Iowa state Senate Judiciary Committee will be hearing Senate File 165 to ensure that any law-abiding adult who may legally possess a handgun can carry it for self-defense without first having to go through government red tape.

Senate File 165, sponsored by Senator Brad Zaun (R-20), would recognize a law-abiding citizen’s unconditional Right to Keep and Bear  Arms for self-defense in the manner they choose.  Self-defense situations are difficult, if not impossible, to anticipate.  Accordingly, a law-abiding adult’s right to defend himself or herself in such situations should not be conditioned by government-mandated time delays and taxes.
