Proposes a constitutional amendment relating to firearms

This bill proposes a constitutional amendment to protect the right to own firearms for self-defense and civil duty while allowing local governments like counties and major cities to regulate those rights. The amendment mandates that courts apply strict scrutiny to any restrictions on gun ownership and prohibits the state from refusing to protect these rights, though it maintains limits on felons and individuals deemed dangerous due to mental health issues. Local jurisdictions would be permitted to issue permits for carrying firearms, charge fees limited to administrative costs, and enforce penalties of up to one year in jail or a $1,000 fine for violations. The text also explicitly allows local ordinances to recognize permits issued by other counties and exempts law enforcement, judges, and certain security personnel from local permit requirements.
