Repeals provisions that prohibit political subdivisions from adopting orders, ordinances, or regulations relating to firearms

HB 1050 repeals restrictions that previously prevented cities, towns, and counties from creating their own firearm regulations. It allows local governments to adopt rules matching specific state firearm laws (sections 571.010-571.070) or regulating open carry and firearm discharge, while banning most other local controls on sales, ownership, or transportation. The bill also shields gun manufacturers from nuisance lawsuits related to lawful sales and limits liability for injuries caused by negligent or defective products. This directly affects local governments’ regulatory authority and gun manufacturers’ legal exposure.
