Summary

HB 1299 would order anyone convicted of a domestic‑violence crime to give up any guns and handgun permits they own, and to have them taken by law enforcement within 72 hours. Keeping or knowingly possessing a firearm after conviction would be a Class A misdemeanor, upgraded to a felony for repeat offenders. The bill includes defenses for people whose gun rights have been restored or who are following a court order.
