The bill amends R.S. 14:95.1(A) to enhance regulations regarding the illegal possession of firearms and concealed weapons by individuals with felony convictions. It specifically prohibits any person convicted of certain felonies, including crimes of violence and various burglary offenses, from possessing firearms or carrying concealed weapons. Notably, the bill removes the specific mention of "burglary of a pharmacy" from the list of offenses that disqualify individuals from firearm possession.

Additionally, the bill introduces new provisions that extend these restrictions to individuals who committed felony-grade delinquent acts while in possession of a firearm, provided they were adjudicated at ages fifteen or sixteen and are under twenty-two at the time of the violation. However, it also includes an exemption for individuals who have been accepted into military service, ensuring that those serving in the armed forces are not subject to these restrictions.
