Lieutenant Governor Sheila Simon Convening Working Group on Guns.



Lieutenant Governor Sheila Simon has convened a working group on guns.  It's mixed with Democrats and Republicans from all parts of the state.  Simon says they'll meet with several different groups in order to find common ground on gun issues.
The group is not designed to create any gun bills, but Simon says it will have discussions about bills that may be going through the Legislature this year.  She says concealed carry will be one focal point of the group.
