HB 1818 Pennsylvania House · 2025-2026 Regular Session

A Joint Resolution proposing an amendment to the Constitution of the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania, providing for a constitutional right to carry.

HB 1818 proposes a constitutional amendment in Pennsylvania that would establish a fundamental right for all citizens to carry, own, and transfer firearms without any licensing, permits, or government restrictions. It would remove all existing requirements for carrying firearms openly or concealed, possessing, purchasing, or transferring firearms, including for self-defense devices. The bill must pass both legislative chambers and then be approved by voters in a general election to become part of the state constitution. As of now, it has only been referred to the Judiciary Committee and is not yet law.
