HB 543 – Constitutional Carry goes into effect July 1, 2023.
No more CCF charges after that for people who don’t carry in restricted areas, or otherwise are entitled to carry.

Will the new law be applied retroactively?
While no one can say for sure, it’s likely, under Dean v. State, which is why good lawyers everywhere should be asking for continuances until after July 1st on cases that could be impacted. Good judges should be granting them too.
As far as the thorny constitutional issues involved in closed CCF cases, or for those on probation, definitely a wait and see …
COMING SOON – Is Liz Scherer getting a show afterall?
