Creates a new class A misdemeanor for possessing a firearm, rifle or shotgun outside the home while intoxicated or impaired by alcohol or drugs, with chemical testing and permit revocation, so more restrictions on firearms.
(12) (a) Such person possesses a firearm, rifle or shotgun outside of their home while: (i) in an intoxicated condition; or (ii) with .08 of one per centum or more by weight of alcohol in such person's blood as shown by chemical analysis of such person's blood, breath, urine or saliva, made pursuant to section 265.70 of this article; or (iii) such person's ability to safely possess such firearm, rifle or shotgun is impaired by consumption of alcohol; or (iv) such person's ability to safely possess such firearm, rifle or shotgun is impaired by use of any drug; or (v) such person's ability tosaf
Why the model tagged it this way: The bill creates a new firearms offense (subdivision 12) prohibiting possession of a firearm/rifle/shotgun outside the home while intoxicated or impaired by alcohol or drugs, backed by chemical testing, higher fines up to $10,000, and permit revocation; this restricts the firearms axis. It also repeals and immediately re-enacts the prior text of subdivision 3 with only technical wording changes, which is neutral. No provisions address transgender, abortion or immigration-enforcement topics.
