Proposes a constitutional amendment relating to firearms

This bill proposes a constitutional amendment to protect the right to own and carry firearms for self-defense and to assist civil authorities, while explicitly allowing local governments in certain counties and cities to regulate firearm possession through their own ordinances. The amendment states that these rights are unalienable and must be upheld by the state, though it permits restrictions on convicted felons and individuals deemed a danger due to mental health issues. Local regulations must include limits on permit fees, ensure permits expire within five years, recognize out-of-state permits, and cap penalties for violations at a fine of $1,000 or one year in jail. Additionally, the text exempts active and retired law enforcement officers, judges, and licensed security guards from local permit requirements.
