The main purpose of this legislation, known as the "Shall Not Be Infringed Act of 2026," is to allow individuals who are harmed in gun-free zones to seek compensation if they are not able to carry a firearm due to local laws. The act aims to address concerns about personal safety in areas where firearms are prohibited and to hold local governments accountable for these restrictions. Key provisions of the act include a requirement for states and local governments to align their laws with the new policy if they wish to receive certain federal funding.
