Direction

Firearms carryAI label

Expands gun access model confidence 90%

Allows physically disabled applicants for a concealed carry license to complete the required two-hour live-fire range training and proficiency demonstration while sitting rather than standing, so more such individuals can satisfy the licensing requirement.

provided however, if an applicant has a physical disability that prevents such applicant from being able to stand up or remain standing, and such applicant provides medical information necessary to verify the existence of such physical disability, such live-fire range training course and proficiency demonstration requirements may be completed while sitting down.

Why the model tagged it this way: The bill provides an accommodation for physically disabled individuals in the concealed carry licensing process by allowing them to complete the live-fire training requirement while sitting, which expands access to carry licenses for that group without altering the training curriculum, proficiency standards, or adding restrictions on firearms. The remainder of the quoted text restates existing requirements from the 2022 law (as amended here only for the disability exception), resulting in a neutral tag for the technical statutory update.
