The resolution proposes an amendment to the Constitution of the State of West Virginia, specifically targeting section 22 of article III, which pertains to the right to keep and bear arms. The amendment aims to affirm that individuals have the right to keep and bear arms for self-defense, hunting, and recreational purposes, while explicitly prohibiting any state or local government entity from imposing restrictions on this right through various means, such as locality, ammunition capacity, or method of carry.

The resolution has been introduced and referred to the appropriate committees, and it seeks to have the proposed amendment submitted to voters during the next general election in 2026. The amendment is designated as "Amendment 1" and is titled the "Protection of the Right to Bear Arms Amendment." Its purpose is to ensure that no governmental body can restrict the right to keep and bear arms, thereby reinforcing the rights of individuals in West Virginia.
