S.4013

National Constitutional Carry Act

Introduced·3/5/26

The National Constitutional Carry Act aims to invalidate state and local laws that restrict the public carrying of firearms by U.S. citizens.

The National Constitutional Carry Act seeks to nullify any state or local laws that criminalize, penalize, or otherwise restrict the public carrying of firearms by U.S. citizens who are eligible to possess firearms under state and federal law. The bill argues that such restrictions violate the Second Amendment and the Fourteenth Amendment. It specifically prohibits states and localities from imposing penalties or barriers on the public carrying of firearms, except where the owner clearly prohibits firearms or where screening for firearms is conducted under state law.
