Federal Lands Lawful Carry Act

This bill changes the federal law that generally bans carrying firearms in federal facilities. It would treat carrying a firearm as lawful in certain federal areas if the person is not otherwise barred by law from having a gun and follows the gun laws of the state where the area is located. The covered areas are units or facilities owned or leased by the Bureau of Land Management, Bureau of Reclamation, National Forest System, National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration, National Park System, National Wildlife Refuge System, Tennessee Valley Authority, and U.S. Army Corps of Engineers. The change applies only to parts of those places that are open to visitors.
