Exempt antique firearms from certain transaction prohibitions
HB 662 amends state laws to exempt antique firearms from certain transaction prohibitions that currently apply to other weapons. The bill specifically defines antique firearms as older muzzle-loading guns, replicas of pre-1898 weapons, or black powder firearms that cannot use modern fixed ammunition, while explicitly excluding weapons that can be easily converted to use standard ammunition. By creating this exemption, the legislation ensures that these specific antique items are not subject to the same restrictions on selling, lending, or transferring as other firearms. This change directly affects individuals who own, sell, or transfer these older types of guns, allowing them to bypass specific unlawful transaction rules.
