Revise laws related to firearms, ammunition, and accessories
This bill prohibits Montana peace officers, state employees, and local government workers from enforcing any federal firearms laws, rules, or regulations enacted after 1889 that are more restrictive than Montana's own laws. It applies to all federal firearms restrictions, including executive orders and regulations, making them unenforceable within the state if they conflict with state standards. The law takes effect immediately upon approval and applies retroactively to cover federal rules adopted or interpreted after November 8, 1889. This measure ensures that Montana's firearms regulations take precedence over stricter federal requirements, allowing state authorities to disregard federal firearms restrictions that exceed state standards.
