National Reciprocity

Finally, some signs of life....

National reciprocity for concealed carry passed the House Judiciary Committee on Wednesday, and is expected to receive a floor vote before the end of the year.

The Concealed Carry Reciprocity Act of 2017 was introduced by Rep. Richard Hudson (R-NC) on January 3, 2017. It changes federal law that so concealed carry permits are treated like driver’s licenses, making a permit from one state valid in the other 49. This would fix the complicated and often confusing patchwork of concealed carry laws currently in effect throughout the country.

To put it simply, Hudson’s bill allows the common man to defend himself and his family as he travels throughout this country.

You would think that since this issue involves an enumerated civil right guaranteed by the United States Constitution, we could have settled the matter long before the end of 2017.

All ahead slow....
