Right to Sue for Gun-Free Zone Restrictions and Funding Penalties

This bill allows individuals with carry permits to sue local governments for damages if they are harmed in a gun-free zone. Jurisdictions that maintain such zones risk losing nearly all federal law enforcement funding.
Key points
Citizens can sue state or local governments for harm suffered in areas where firearms are prohibited.
The right to sue applies to individuals authorized to carry a firearm in their home state.
Victims must show that carrying a firearm could have averted or mitigated the harm they suffered.
Non-compliant governments face up to a 99% reduction in federal police grants (Byrne-JAG and COPS).
Withheld funds will be reallocated to states that do not restrict firearm carry rights.
