Why the model tagged it this way: The bill primarily expands concealed-carry privileges for certain retired DOC employees (a firearms/carry change) and updates definitions to treat designated DOC employees as having law-enforcement powers (affecting assault penalties but not altering general firearm purchase, ownership, or carry rules for the public).
