So, it looks to me like the hearing has been canceled at the request of the author, Assemblyman Knight. However, as an anonymous comment on my previous article AB 357 - California CCW Reform? suggested, we should contact the members of the Committee on Public Safety indicating our support of this bill. A new hearing may be scheduled for AB 357 at any time, so let's get our support on record now.

Remember, when you write to a representative, be sure to include your full, real name, address, and telephone number. Representatives will only pay attention to California residents, so if the address is not included, the letter or e-mail will not be counted.
