Prohibits openly carrying a rifle or shotgun

This bill prohibits individuals from openly carrying rifles or shotguns, defining open carry as holding the weapon in a way that makes it visible to others. The law includes specific exemptions for law enforcement, military personnel, licensed gun dealers, and people on their own private property or with permission from a property owner. It also grants exceptions for activities like hunting, historical reenactments, and certain official duties, while establishing a six-month grace period for surrendering unserialized gun parts. The changes apply immediately upon the bill's effective date.
