Bill summary
Official digest is not on this card.
Now vs if chaptered
NOW: introduced and referred, not law. IF ENACTED: the bill's purpose clause would bar DC feature-based bans, prior restraints on acquisition and possession, and would add concealed carry plus neighboring-state FFL purchases.
Defender utility
DC and federal defenders on feature-ban, carry, and purchase-restraint calendars: do not cite H.R. 8297 as current law. It is a pending challenge vehicle against those DC restraints, not a new client possessory count. Not a California charge.
Who this is for. DC and federal defenders on feature-ban and carry calendars — pending bill, not present law; not a California charge.
