USA – -(Ammoland.com)- H.R.38, a bill “To amend title 18, United States Code, to provide a means by which nonresidents of a State whose residents may carry concealed firearms may also do so in the State,” was introduced Tuesday by North Carolina Rep. Richard Hudson. The bill was referred to the House Judiciary Committee for further action.
“It will provide law-abiding citizens the right to conceal carry without worrying about conflicting state codes or onerous civil suits,” Hudson, a member of President-elect Donald Trump’s Second Amendment Coaltion noted. “[It will ensure] our Second Amendment right doesn’t disappear when we cross state lines.”
Also known by its short title, the “Concealed Carry Reciprocity Act of 2017,’’ the text of the bill, available as a pdf file on Rep. Hudson’s official House website, will codify that a person “carrying a valid license or permit which is issued pursuant to the law of a State and which permits the person to carry a concealed firearm or is entitled to carry a concealed firearm in the State in which the person resides, may possess or carry a concealed handgun … in any State that …. has a statute under which residents of the State may apply for a license or permit to carry a concealed firearm; or … does not prohibit the carrying of concealed firearms by residents of the State for lawful purposes.

We’ll see pelosi or mcStain nailed to a cross before
something like this happens.
A good beginning, but still not
what the 2A says.
“[It will ensure] our Second Amendment right doesn’t disappear when we cross state lines.”
This is what happens when you let the unfortunately retarded vote for the proudly stupid.
my rights come from God and are upheld by the constitution which states
“the right of the people to keep and bear Arms, shall not be infringed”.
written in plain English.
we shouldn’t even be having this discussion.
A government that fears arms in the hands of it
people should also fear ROPE!
– Nathan Bedford Forrest about 1845
this is the discussion we should be having
As mentioned, WHY is the Second Amendment the ONLY “right” you must have a permit to freely exercise?
What part of “shall not be infringed” allows obstruction and denial of law abiding citizens the right to keep and bear arms?
Pelosi and company are largely irrelevant now.
Trump is capable of ramming through whatever he chooses to prioritize.
Reciprocity is actually fairly simple to execute.
This will prove easier than expected, I think.
Where are all the news stories of atrocities, mayhem, and promising young lives cut short by CCW holders?
2A is not the problem. Get this done.
As long as they don’t try to make a National/Federal carry license.
Having the Feds play a central role in firearm carry will not go well.
To paraphrase two other commenters here: The 2A is your carry license. All this licensing crap is gun control crap.
Requesting a license from the people we are protecting ourselves from is not Constitutional.
Anyone who infringes on this right should be jailed as an enemy to our Constitution, the foundation
of our country.
For those who hate our Constitution and our Country I suggest deportation. We have been tolerating
this tyranny long enough.

Some people “hate” “your” Constitution because they’re — at least moderately — fond of Americans.
You have any future plans to actually make any sense at all, anonymous?
