Proposes a constitutional amendment relating to firearms

Maddy summaryThis bill proposes a constitutional amendment to protect the right to own firearms for self-defense and civil duty, while allowing local governments in specific counties and cities to regulate possession and carrying. The amendment establishes that restrictions on these rights must meet a high legal standard called strict scrutiny and explicitly protects the rights of convicted violent felons and individuals deemed a danger due to mental disorders from being limited. At the same time, it grants local authorities the power to create their own firearm regulations, such as requiring permits with fees limited to administrative costs and setting maximum penalties for violations. Local ordinances must also recognize permits issued by other jurisdictions and exempt law enforcement, judges, and certain security personnel from local rules.
