Prohibits firearms businesses within one thousand feet of a child care facility, school, or religious organization

This bill prohibits local governments from issuing licenses to firearms businesses that wish to operate within 1,000 feet of schools, child care facilities, or religious organizations. The rule applies to any business selling or dealing in federally regulated guns, ammunition, or destructive devices that opens after August 28, 2024, while allowing existing businesses to remain unaffected. Distance is measured in a straight line between the property lines of the two locations, ignoring any buildings or objects in between. The legislation directly impacts gun dealers and local licensing authorities by restricting where new stores can be established near protected community sites.
