Why the model tagged it this way: The bill expands state preemption of local firearm, air gun, archery, knife, and ammunition regulations by municipalities and counties, adds archery equipment and related items to preempted categories, narrows exceptions for local rules, removes county authority to regulate bow hunting on smaller lots, and prevents local ordinances from effectively banning lawful commerce in these items.
