SB5038 prohibits the open carry of firearms or any weapons at public demonstrations and the state capitol, whether the person carries the weapon on their person or in a vehicle. This prohibition also applies within 250 feet of the perimeter of a permitted demonstration at a public place.
The Senate passed SB5038 on April 20, 2021, by a vote of 28 to 21. We have assigned pluses to the nays because the fundamental right of the American people to keep and bear arms should not be infringed, as guaranteed by the 2nd Amendment of the U.S. Constitution.
