A work session in the House Judiciary Committee on March 30, 2021 sent this bill to the House Rules Committee.
Firearm background checks should be completed and approved before the sale or transfer of a firearm. The Charleston Loophole, however, allows sales or transfers to be completed without a background check. HB 2543 will require gun sellers to respect existing laws, including longstanding laws prohibiting felons, abusers, fugitives from justice and other prohibited purchasers from buying guns.
