Inmunidad para funcionarios y agencias en casos de armas de fuego

Explicación Simple

Esta ley dice que los funcionarios del gobierno no pueden ser demandados por errores al manejar licencias de armas. Por ejemplo, si alguien no recibe una licencia de armas que debería tener, ellos están protegidos si actuaron de buena fe.

Es como cuando un maestro da una calificación equivocada por error. Si lo hizo de buena fe y no por favoritismo, no lo pueden castigar por eso.

Ejemplo Práctico

Imagina que Juan solicita una licencia para portar un arma, pero la oficina de licencias se la niega por error. Según esta ley, esa oficina no puede ser demandada porque actuaron de buena fe al revisar su solicitud.
