Washington – I posted incorrect info. I read the bill wrong. Sorry for posting incorrect info. http://lawfilesext.leg.wa.gov/biennium/2019-20/Pdf/Bills/Senate Passed Legislature/5260.PL.pdf
Tennessee – Is going to go to a two tier Permit System. Effective 1/1/20 House Bill 1264 changes the name of the Tennessee Permit from “Handgun Carry Permit” to “Enhanced Handgun Carry Permit.” It adds a new section to the statutes that lists all the criteria on obtaining a Tennessee Permit which will require less training and cost less. I can’t find a final version of the bill with the amendments that passed added. You have to read the amendments that passed also to see the entire bill.

Connecticut - Effective October 1, 2019 HB 7223 Public Act No. 19-7 sets in statute how firearms must be stored in unattended vehicles and the charge if violated. You can read the Bill at https://www.cga.ct.gov/2019/ACT/pa/pdf/2019PA-00007-R00HB-07223-PA.pdf
Connecticut – Effective October 1, 2019 HB 7218 Public Act No. 19.5 amended CT Statutes on the storage of firearms on your premises that can be accessed by someone under 18. You can read the bill at https://www.cga.ct.gov/2019/ACT/pa/pdf/2019PA-00005-R00HB-07218-PA.pdf
New York & New York City – Effective Immediately. With the passage of Bill No. A05944/S04863 New York has removed “Gravity Knife” from the statute on what is considered a Deadly Weapon. NYC was citing a lot of people with an Assisted Opening Knife saying they could be opened by the flick of the wrist and the NY Supreme Ct even upheld a NYC conviction in the last few years upholding an Assisted Opening Knife was a Gravity Knife. NYC Admin Rules state a knife must not be visible. That clip that we use to carry that knife in a pocket showing has also gotten people cited. Keep it completely concealed in NYC at the least.

Handgunlaw.us wants to remind people that when a bill is passed and becomes law it can take months and sometimes almost a year before a state will update its online statutes with the law change. Then like everyone else most have a disclaimer on the accuracy of their online statutes.
