Rogers on D.C. Personal Protection Reciprocity Act

Statement

Congressman Mike Rogers made the following statement today on his support of H.R. 2909, the D.C. Personal Protection Reciprocity Act. The bill would allow any American citizen with a valid handgun carry permit in any other state or jurisdiction, to carry certain concealed firearms for self-defense while in Washington, D.C. Currently the bill is in the House Committee of Oversight and Government Reform.

"As a strong supporter of our Second Amendment rights, I was pleased to cosponsor this important piece of legislation. It is just common-sense that the same rules should apply in our nation's capital that we follow across the country.

"I hope this legislation will come to the House Floor soon for a vote. I will continue to fight for the rights of gun owners in Congress."
