Lee’s legislation would allow eligible Americans who can legally possess firearms to carryconcealed weapons nationwide without obtaininga permit.The bill would also prohibit states and local governments from imposing licensing requirements, fees or criminal penalties on otherwise lawful public carry while preserving restrictions in certain secured locations and on private property where firearms are prohibited.
