Bill > HB05051

This bill aims to prevent municipalities (local city or town governments) from creating or enforcing their own local ordinances that regulate firearms. By amending chapter 98 of the general statutes, the bill would strip local governments of their current ability to create firearm-specific regulations, effectively centralizing firearm regulation at the state level. This means that cities and towns would no longer be able to pass their own local laws about firearms, such as restrictions on where firearms can be carried, stored, or sold. The purpose is to create a uniform approach to firearm regulation across the entire state, ensuring that firearm laws are consistent and determined at the state level rather than varying from one municipality to another.
