2015 House Bill 4156

Senate Roll Call 116: Passed

To revise the definition of “firearm” in the state law authorizing regulations on selling, purchasing, possessing, and carrying a handgun, To revise the definition of “firearm” in the state penal code so it longer applies to BB, pellet, paint ball or "air-soft" guns. The new definition would be a gun that "expels a projectile by action of an explosive." However, using a non-firearm to commit a crime would still be subject to criminal penalties.
