Bill Summary
A bill to protect the right of individuals to bear arms at water resources development projects. Prohibits the Department of the Army from promulgating or enforcing any regulation that prohibits an individual from possessing a firearm in any area open to the public (other than a federal facility) at a water resources development project administered by the Chief of Engineers if: (1) the individual is not otherwise prohibited by law from possessing the firearm, and (2) the possession of the firearm is in compliance with the law of the state in which the project is located.
AI Summary
This bill aims to protect the right of individuals to carry firearms at water resources development projects, which are areas managed by the Army Corps of Engineers for purposes like flood control and navigation. Specifically, it prevents the Secretary of the Army from creating or enforcing rules that ban people from having firearms in public areas of these projects, as long as the individual is legally allowed to own a gun and is following the firearm laws of the state where the project is located. This provision excludes federal facilities, which may have different rules.
