Proposes a constitutional amendment relating to firearms

This bill proposes a constitutional amendment to explicitly protect the right to own and carry firearms for self-defense and civil duty, while allowing local governments in specific counties to regulate these rights. The amendment mandates that any restrictions on firearm rights must meet a high legal standard known as strict scrutiny and prohibits the state from refusing to protect these rights. It permits cities and counties to issue permits for carrying firearms, set reasonable fees to cover administrative costs, and impose penalties of up to one year in jail or a $1,000 fine for violations. Additionally, the text exempts certain groups such as law enforcement officers, judges, and licensed security guards from local permit requirements and recognizes permits issued by the holder's county of residence.
