This bill would prohibit any state or local government from receiving federal financial assistance if it suspends open or concealed firearm carry licenses.

The bill defines federal financial assistance broadly according to existing federal law, which includes grants, loans, and other forms of federal support. There is no specific funding or timeline mentioned in the legislation. Essentially, the bill seeks to use federal funding as leverage to prevent states from suspending firearm carry licenses, though it does not specify what triggers a suspension or how the provision would be enforced.
