Nationwide Right to Carry Firearms Publicly Without State Permits.

This bill eliminates state and local restrictions, including permits and fees, on carrying firearms in public for eligible U.S. citizens. If passed, individuals legally allowed to possess a firearm federally and locally could carry it publicly in any state without needing specific state licenses. The goal is to ensure the right to self-defense outside the home is uniformly protected across the nation by nullifying conflicting local regulations.
Key points
Removes the requirement for state-issued permits or licenses to carry firearms publicly for eligible residents and nonresidents.
Prohibits states and local governments from imposing criminal or financial penalties for the public carry of firearms by legally eligible citizens.
Private property owners who open their premises to the public retain the right to prohibit firearms if clearly posted.
