Rep. Post Introduces legislation to protect 2nd Amendment Rights
SALEM – Representative Bill Post (R-Keizer) has introduced multiple bills to protect Oregonians’ 2nd Amendment rights.
HB 3271 pushes back against a recent administrative rule. This bill prohibits state agencies from drafting rules that would prohibit their employees who have a concealed carry permit from bringing a weapon to their workplace.
HB 2974 This would exempt people who are certified participants in the Address Confidentiality Program from SB941, the universal background check bill from 2015. Many of these people have their addresses protected because of severe threats to their lives. Currently, they are prohibited from legally purchasing a firearm for their safety because their address is not printed on their driver’s license.
HB 2171 creates reciprocity for concealed carry permit holders from other states who meet Oregon’s standards of training.
HB 2973 completely repeals SB 941.
Representative Post represents the communities of Keizer, St. Paul and Newberg in the Oregon House. He currently serves on the House Judiciary Committee, the House Economic Development and Trade Committee and the House Veterans and Emergency Preparedness Committee.
