WEAPONS: Provides relative to persons authorized to carry a concealed handgun without a permit. (8/1/25)

SB 211 creates a process for district attorneys to petition courts to prohibit certain individuals from carrying concealed handguns without a permit if the court finds probable cause they pose an imminent risk of injury to themselves or others. The court must consider factors like past violence, threats, animal cruelty, reckless firearm use, mental health history, or substance abuse before issuing the order. If approved, the order is reported to the National Instant Criminal Background Check System, blocking the person from legally carrying a concealed handgun until the order ends or is modified. The individual can request a hearing to challenge the order or later apply for a permit if they no longer pose a risk.
