H.B. No. 5408 (RAISED) AN ACT CONCERNING THE PRESENTATION OF A CARRY PERMIT. OPPOSE. This bill would remove the requirement for a person to be under ‘suspicion of a crime’ and compel individuals produce a permit to carry firearms upon request. Currently, a sworn officer needs reasonable suspicion of a crime being committed in order to request a permit to be produced. This is similar to the need for reasonable suspicion to pull an automobile over.
