The House of Representatives introduced a bill which would allow Americans with concealed weapons permits to travel from state to state without having to worry about being harassed or arrested for exercising their second amendment rights. H.R. 38 is also known as the Concealed Carry Reciprocity Act of 2017.
This bill would allow Americans who have obtained a permit to carry concealed weapons to carry across state lines by enshrining national reciprocity into law. With a national reciprocity law, every state would have to recognize another state’s concealed carry permit. This is similar to the states recognizing an out of state driver’s license. If a driver’s license holder were subject to the same erroneous regulations as concealed permit holders are subject to, one could be arrested for traveling into the wrong state, if they did not acquire a driver’s license from that state first.
