Bill Summary
A BILL To amend title 18, United States Code, to provide a means by which nonresidents of a State whose residents may carry concealed firearms may also do so in the State.
AI Summary
This bill establishes a national concealed carry reciprocity law that would allow individuals with a valid concealed carry permit from their home state to carry a concealed handgun in any other state, provided they meet certain conditions. Specifically, the person must not be prohibited from possessing a firearm under federal law, must carry a valid photo identification, and must have a valid concealed carry permit or be legally entitled to carry a concealed firearm in their home state. The bill allows concealed carry in states that either have their own concealed carry permit system or do not prohibit concealed carry for residents. The law includes important protections for property owners and government facilities, allowing them to still prohibit firearms on their premises. It also provides legal protections for permit holders, including preventing arrest without probable cause and requiring the prosecution to prove a violation beyond a reasonable doubt if the permit holder is charged. The bill further allows concealed carry in various federal lands such as national parks, wildlife refuges, and lands managed by federal agencies like the Forest Service and Bureau of Land Management. The law would take effect 90 days after enactment and includes a severability clause to ensure that if any part of the law is found unconstitutional, the rest of the law remains in effect.
