The National Constitutional Carry Act would prohibit states and local governments from imposing criminal penalties, fines, or other barriers on law-abiding Americans carrying firearms in public. The bill applies to any resident or nonresident who is a U.S. citizen and legally eligible to possess firearms under state and federal law. It effectively nullifies state and local gun regulations that restrict public carry, making them unenforceable, while allowing private property owners to still prohibit firearms on their premises by posting clear notice. The legislation contains no funding requirements or specific timeline for implementation. The bill's sponsors argue it enforces Second Amendment rights as interpreted by recent Supreme Court decisions, particularly the 2022 New York State Rifle and Pistol Association v. Bruen ruling.
