State House to Hold Seven-Hour Public Hearing on Expanding Gun Background Checks

SALEM, OR -- The State House will hold a public hearing on the gun control bill just passed by the Senate and now in front of the House. The public hearing on Senate Bill 941 will be held Wednesday from 3:00 to 10:00 p.m.

 

Republican Leader Mike McLane of Powell Butte was very critical of the two-hour public hearing recently held on the bill, in the Senate. Due to his concerns, he made sure the House would hold a much longer hearing occuring in the evening, in order to draw more people. 

 

This bill being considered would require all private gun sales in Oregon to include a background check conducted by a gun dealer.
