Tim present law restricting the use i of firearms is described as a "joker'' enactment and has been almost entirely lost sight of, according to Senator Holmes. Under It only persons , traveling are permitted to carry con- 1 cealed weapons. It must be violated, however, even by officers of the law who desire to carry weapons.

The application would make final decision as to whether or not the permit should be granted. Police chiefs and sheriffs in no instances would be allowed to issue such permits. The bill would also provide increased penalties for crimes committed while the one doing the act has ! a gun in his possession. Crimes ordinarily classed as misdemeanors, would be classed as felonies tinder | this enactment if the law violator;
