Bill > HB1818

This bill proposes a constitutional amendment to the Pennsylvania Constitution that would establish a broad right to carry firearms and self-defense devices. Specifically, the proposed amendment would grant every citizen the right to openly or concealed carry, transport, possess, use, acquire, purchase, transfer, inherit, buy, sell, give, or otherwise dispose of firearms or self-defense devices without requiring any license, permission, or restriction of any kind. The bill outlines a standard constitutional amendment process, which requires two passages by the General Assembly and subsequent advertising by the Secretary of the Commonwealth, who would then submit the proposed amendment to qualified Pennsylvania voters at the first eligible general or municipal election. If approved, this amendment would significantly expand firearm rights in Pennsylvania by removing existing licensing and regulatory requirements for firearm ownership and carrying.
