Committee members need to hear from you.  There are cases of insurance companies refusing to provide insurance to gun owners because they own guns, as well as cases where applications for insurance contain questions about gun ownership.  This bill will stop such practices.

Please e-mail Committee Members today — It is URGENT they hear from you.
