Firearms; deleting restrictions for carrying handguns on certain property; effective date.
HB 3036 removes restrictions on carrying handguns in specific locations, including government-owned vehicle parking areas, adjacent properties to prohibited buildings, parks, and school parking lots (with firearms stored in locked vehicles when unattended). It also allows concealed carry in municipal zoos and parks and permits private schools to adopt policies permitting weapon possession on their property. The bill deletes previous prohibitions for these areas, making handgun carry lawful under defined conditions. It does not affect existing restrictions on carrying in courthouses, schools (except as modified), or gambling facilities without owner authorization.
