Plain-language change summary

The amendment to Bill HB 4075 adds a clarification that individuals charged with violating local firearm ownership laws can defend themselves by proving their use or possession of a firearm was in self-defense or in defense of another person. This change is significant because it strengthens the legal protection for individuals who may need to use a firearm to protect themselves or others, making it clearer that such cases are viewed differently under the law.
