This bill proposes several amendments and new provisions to the North Dakota Century Code regarding firearms and dangerous weapons. It amends the definition of "dangerous weapon" to include knives with blades of six inches or more and introduces a liability exemption for public and private entities, stating they cannot be held liable for injuries or damages caused by individuals carrying concealed dangerous weapons. Additionally, it allows political subdivisions to enact ordinances prohibiting the possession of firearms or dangerous weapons in public areas of publicly owned or operated buildings.

The bill also establishes a penalty for individuals who use binary triggers in the commission of a crime, classifying it as a class C felony. It modifies existing regulations on the possession of firearms at public gatherings, specifically removing the prohibition in publicly owned or operated buildings while maintaining restrictions in schools and places of worship. Furthermore, it updates the requirements for individuals carrying concealed firearms to present their licenses upon request and clarifies penalties for noncompliance, including a fee structure for violations.
