LC 2524 Legislature · 2025 Regular Session

Preserve right to keep and bear arms via a presumption of innocence

This bill prohibits the state from removing a person's right to keep and bear arms while they are awaiting trial for most criminal charges. It directly affects individuals charged with crimes by ensuring they retain their Second Amendment rights during the pre-trial period. The only exceptions to this protection are for those charged with forcible felonies or crimes involving the use of a weapon. The measure aims to prevent automatic disarmament pending trial unless specific serious charges are involved.
