Prohibits persons from carrying firearms into parade zones

HB 2708 prohibits individuals from carrying firearms into designated parade zones during active parade hours. This restriction applies to anyone who knowingly brings a gun into these specific areas, regardless of whether the weapon is concealed or visible. The law includes several exceptions, allowing authorized law enforcement officers, judges, and other specific officials to carry firearms if it is necessary for their official duties. Additionally, the bill provides exemptions for people with valid concealed carry permits and those transporting firearms in certain non-functioning or unloaded states.
