Bill Summary

The purpose of this bill is to allow those persons 18-20 years of age to be permitted to carry a deadly weapon, as those persons 21 and over are currently permitted to do.

AI Summary

This bill aims to allow individuals aged 18-20 to carry concealed deadly weapons without a permit, which is currently only permitted for those 21 and older. The bill modifies existing laws to remove the minimum age of 21 for carrying concealed weapons without a license or authorization. It also removes the exceptions and exemptions related to this age group that were previously in place. This change would extend the ability to carry concealed weapons to a younger demographic, while maintaining the other existing requirements and penalties for prohibited persons possessing firearms.
