Criminal Law - Wearing, Carrying, or Transporting a Handgun - Prior Convictions
Hearing (House)
Summary
The bill expands the prior‑conviction list that leads to enhanced sentencing for wearing, carrying, or transporting a handgun to include comparable crimes committed in other states, federal, military, or tribal courts. Offenders with any such prior conviction face higher mandatory minimum prison terms, especially for violations on school property or with a loaded gun. The change aims to strengthen penalties for repeat gun offenders.
