National Reciprocity for Concealed Carry Passes, Next Stop House Floor

Breitbart – by AWR Hawkins

National reciprocity for concealed carry passed the House Judiciary Committee on Wednesday 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.

On November 28 Breitbart News reported that Hudson’s legislation was scheduled for a markup in the House Judiciary Committee and the markup would serve as the last stop before a floor vote.

In fact, the markup demonstrated the committee’s confidence that national reciprocity was headed to the floor.

Hudson released the following statement once national reciprocity passed out of the House Judiciary Committee:

My bill is a simple, common sense solution to the confusing hodgepodge of concealed carry reciprocity agreements between states. It will affirm that law-abiding citizens who are qualified to carry concealed in one state can also carry in other states that allow residents to do so. I am pleased to see such strong support in committee, and I look forward to continuing this momentum and bringing the bill to the House floor as soon as possible.

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

    You mean like it should have been all along?

    You can thank sites such as “From the Trenches World Report” for this.

    Now let’s see if the goddamn thing passes and becomes law!

  2. Can’t wait to see what chains are attached to this “law” when we already have an Article stating even greater Rights than this table scrap. For one, I smell database. .

    The validity of such an edict eludes me. Do we need papers for free speech? Unwarranted search and seizures? How about torture or due process? You get my drift.

  3. “….can also carry in other states that allow residents to do so….”

    So you would still have to check the local laws before crossing the state line.

    They’re getting closer to making sense, but wisdom still eludes them.

  4. No permission required whatsoever from any authority to exercise an inalienable right…..ASSHOLE Criminals
    Gfy’s and ur illegal laws… do i need a right to carry a hangman’s noose too…you criminals at every level of gov days are a coming …
