	This legislation limits the areas where a person would need a concealed weapons permit to carry a weapon and would reduce General Fund revenue by $104,300 and Other Special Revenue Funds revenue to the Department of Public Safety by $97,000 beginning in fiscal year 2011-12.  The Department of Public Safety would eliminate one Office Associate II position and one State Police Detective position as a result of reduced levels of issuance of concealed weapons permits resulting in Other Special Revenue Funds savings of $152,744 in fiscal year 2011-12 and $157,885 in fiscal year 2012-13.
	This legislation will also reduce judicial, indigent legal services and correctional costs.  This estimate assumes 58 fewer indigent legal services cases annually with General Fund savings of $18,835 in fiscal year 2011-12 and $25,114 in fiscal year 2012-13.  It also reflects one less 62 day sentence per year.
