(A) The right to keep and bear arms is a fundamental individual right, and shall not be infringed. All local, state, and federal acts, laws, orders, rules, or regulations regarding firearms, firearms accessories, and ammunition enacted or promulgated that violate the fundamental individual right to keep and bear arms infringe upon the Second Amendment of the Constitution of the United States, and Article 1, Section 32, of the Indiana Constitution.
(B) The individual right to keep and bear arms predates the Constitution of the United States and the Indiana Constitution. It encompasses the right to legal ownership, possession, purchase, other acquisition, transport, storage, carrying, sale, other transfer, manufacture, shooting range activities, private property shooting, and training. Therefore, be it hereby ordained by the Board of Commissioners of Warrick County, Indiana, that the right of the citizens of Warrick County to keep and bear arms shall not be infringed by any agent or representative of Warrick County or any other person.
