NRA-Backed Concealed Carry Reciprocity Bill Picks Up Support in Both Chambers of Congress
The Constitutional Concealed Carry Reciprocity Act of 2015:
- Respects the rights of individuals who possess concealed carry permits from their home state or who are not prohibited from carrying concealed in their home state to exercise those rights in any other state that does not prohibit concealed carry.
- Would not override state laws governing the time, place or manner of carriage or establish national standards for concealed carry. Individual state gun laws would still be respected. Concealed carry reciprocity would simply ensure that states honor permits issued by other states, just as they do with drivers licenses.
- If under federal law a person is prohibited from carrying a firearm, they will continue to be prohibited from doing so under this bill.
- The U.S. Senate version of the bill was introduced by Senator John Cornyn (TX) on February 12, 2015.
