Domestic violence gun bill advances to full Senate [View all]
well done, Utah, I'm pleasantly surprised."Legislation that would prohibit possession or carrying of guns by people convicted of domestic violence or who had a protective order against them cleared a Senate committee Wednesday on its way to the full Senate.
The Senate Judiciary, Law Enforcement and Criminal Justice Committee endorsed HB206 on a 4-0 vote after it was amended to more clearly define protective orders subject to the weapons restriction to include ones in which the subject had a chance to participate in a court hearing prior to its issuance and which restrains that person from harassing, threatening or stalking an intimate partner or child.
