Dave Kopel Testimony on Senate Bill 17-006 “Lizzie’s Law”

On Monday February 13, 2017, Dave Kopel testified on Senate Bill 17-006, also known as Lizzie’s Law. Here is the audio recording of his testimony.
Licensed Handgun Carry for Young Adults Serving in the Armed Forces

This Issue Paper examines a proposal to allow young adults, aged 18-20, to apply for concealed handgun carry permits, if they currently or previously served in the United States Armed Forces. For decades, other states have allowed licensed carry by young adults. Assertions that licensed carry will increase suicides are implausible, and not supported by data.
