For now at least, it appears that semi-auto handguns are exempted.
From the same bill:
(4) For purposes of this subsection—
(A) the term ‘gas-operated semi-automatic firearm’ does not include—
...
(v) a handgun that—
...
(VI) is a single or double action semi-automatic handgun that uses...
Don't be fooled by the "gas-operated" moniker. The GOSAFE ACT bans ALL semi-auto rifles with detachable magazines, regardless of its semi-auto mechanism, be it gas operated, recoil operated, or pure blowback.
From the proposed bill:
(40) The term ‘gas-operated’, with respect to a semi-automatic...
Michigan passed a similar law and in 2020 the ATF rescinded their approval for Michigan FFLs to accept a CPL as a substitute for a NICS check.
If Arkansas had a similar CPL exception to NICS, expect the ATF to withdraw it.
I suggest the site https://airgunlaws.com/ for state by state information.
I cannot vouch for its accuracy, but like Handgunlaw.us, it does list the specific law numbers cited so you can verify the accuracy of their information. (But that does nothing for laws they may have missed.)
It is a...
The first exception listed in the law is:
(B) Subparagraph (A) does not apply to the possession of a firearm
(i) on private property not part of school grounds;
If you drive into town from the gun show, you may be in violation.
18 USC 922(q)(2)(B) lists the exceptions (emphasis added):
(B) Subparagraph (A) does not apply to the possession of a firearm—
(i) on private property not part of school grounds;
(ii) if the individual possessing the firearm...
This is the law, and you are correct to point this out. However, if people without permits in permitless carry states are going to get arrested over possession of a firearm within 1000' of a School Zone without a valid state-issued permit, then where does that leave people who carry in other...
Because just as concealed carry turns every fender bender into a "shoot-out at the O.K. Corral," concealed carry in a bar would turn every bar fight into another "O.K Corral."
The fact that their predictions about fender benders has never come to pass won't stop them from using the same false...
From Handgunlaw.us page for Oregon:
RV/Car Carry Without a Permit/License
From the Oregon Firearms Federation (OFF FAQs): Oregon has no State law against carrying a loaded
handgun in your car as long as it’s :
(a) Not concealed or
(b) “Not readily accessible.” (If Concealed)

Here is the MI House Bill 4138 which tracks its iterations:

I believe this change was made to the "Universal Background Check" bill after it was learned that the Michigan State University gunman Anthony Dwayne McRae had legally purchased the handgun he used in the shootings, but failed to turn in the registration form to law enforcement for processing...
My favorite resource is the website handgunlaw.us which is curated by THR's own Gary Slider.
The page for South Carolina does not show that they accept Wisconsin carry permits.
Florida allows for an inadvertent flash of a concealed weapon without penalty, but does not allow open carry.

...a person may carry a firearm. MCL 750.234d provides that it is a 90 day misdemeanor to possess a firearm on the premises of any of the following:
* A depository financial institution (e.g., bank or credit union)
* A church or other place of religious worship
* A court
* A theater
* A sports...
Oh, you mean like the Lautenberg Amendment that removed a person's Second Amendment rights years after pleading guilty to a misdemeanor? (Yes, I know it's been litigated and found to not be an ex post facto law.)
