Federal Lands Lawful Carry Act

This bill, titled the Federal Lands Lawful Carry Act, seeks to permit the possession of firearms within certain federal government units and facilities. It achieves this by amending Section 930 of title 18, United States Code, which typically restricts firearms in federal facilities, to establish an exception for designated "exempted areas." Under the proposed changes, firearm possession in an exempted area is considered lawful if the individual is not otherwise prohibited by law and fully complies with the laws of the State where the area is situated. The legislation specifically defines an "exempted area" to include units or facilities owned or leased by various federal agencies, such as the National Park System , National Forest System , and Bureau of Land Management , provided these locations are accessible to visitors and invitees.
