Bill overview
This bill, the National Constitutional Carry Act, aims to ensure that states cannot penalize or discourage residents and nonresidents from carrying firearms in public. It seeks to uphold the Second Amendment right to bear arms, referencing Supreme Court decisions that affirmed an individual’s right to self-defense with firearms. The bill specifically modifies existing federal law to prevent states from imposing criminal or civil penalties on lawful firearm carry in public, with exceptions for clearly communicated prohibitions on private property and firearm screening conducted under state law.
