AB 1912 clears Water, Parks and Wildlife Committee unanimously, heads to Public Safety
A bill that would expand self-defense rights for California’s deer archery hunters cleared a key committee hurdle this week, advancing unanimously out of the Assembly Water, Parks and Wildlife Committee and onto the Assembly Public Safety Committee.
Assembly Bill 1912, authored by Assemblywoman Heather Hadwick (R-Alturas), would amend Section 4370 of the Fish and Game Code to allow deer archery hunters to carry a concealed firearm for personal protection while in the field. The bill passed out of the Water, Parks and Wildlife Committee on March 24 with 12 ayes and 0 noes.
