Rep. Richard Hudson (R) introduced national reciprocity for concealed carry in the 118th Congress on Monday night.
The legislation, H.R. 38–also known as the Concealed Carry Reciprocity Act–has a bipartisan group of 118 co-sponsors.
H.R. 38 would make the concealed carry permit of any one state valid in the other 49, just like a driver’s license.
Hudson commented on the legislation, saying:
H.R. 38 guarantees the Second Amendment does not disappear when crossing an invisible state line….[It] protects law-abiding citizens’ rights to conceal carry and travel freely between states without worrying about conflicting state codes or onerous civil suits. I am especially proud to have such widespread and bipartisan support for this measure as I continue working to get this legislation over the finish line.
The National Shooting Sports Foundation welcomed Hudson’s legislation, and NRA-ILA executive director Jason Ouimet said:
The U.S. Supreme Court recently affirmed that the fundamental right to keep and bear arms does not stop at a person’s front door. Congress should now affirm that the right to self-defense does not stop at a state line. The NRA thanks Rep. Hudson for his strong and unwavering leadership in the march towards right-to-carry reciprocity.
Concealed carry is currently governed by a patchwork of state-level laws that give anti-gun, state-level office holders the power to restrict the exercise of residents of other states to exercise their right to bear arms. Hudson’s bill is designed to correct this by making reciprocity national.

That’s what should be.
Excellent!
I’d sure love to see it happen.
What about the states where counseled carry is legal without a permit, in other words the 2nd amendment’s uninfringed right to bear arms?
Sorta like an amendment or something? As long as it’s not absolute. Right branDUHn? 😂👍
Yes!

Do it!
Do it for America! Do it for liberty! Do it for the children! :)
Symbolic only.
Meaningless as the Senate and Biden will never sign it.
Common sense, no chance of passing with Biden and the RATS.
You can still have restrictions attached
I wonder why they didn’t bring this up when they had both Houses and the Presidency? Here is a hint, they really don’t want it else they would have. Makes a great campaign sound bite tho.
The validity of driver’s licenses is protected by an interstate compact, not by legislation or the Constitution.
Still worth putting on a show.
And since the Democrats are never going to allow any bills to pass which they do not like, the Republicans need to reply in kind.
Another two years of government deadlock would be good for us.
Should not be needed, but I’m glad he did it.
Republicans need to make democrats own “No” votes for unpopular positions that they hold.
Great.
I doubt the Left will let it become law.
It’s still asking the government for permission to exercise a right. The 2nd applies to all state governments as well as the federal gov. Not just some. (as explicitly prohibiting the infringement thereof.)
This past the House years ago, and McConnell wouldn’t allow it to come up for a vote in the Senate.
