The Constitutional Concealed Carry Reciprocity Act

Floor Speech

BREAK IN TRANSCRIPT

Mr. EDWARDS. Mr. Speaker, I include in the Record the following newsletter to give an update to my constituents on the Constitutional Concealed Carry Reciprocity Act.

Dear Friend: H.R. 38, the Constitutional Concealed Carry Reciprocity Act, that I'm co-sponsoring fixes a disjointed system in which a law-abiding citizen who holds a concealed carry permit in one state can become a criminal for simply crossing states lines with a firearm without having a concealed carry permit from the second state.

The Second Amendment doesn't stop at state lines and this bipartisan bill is a commonsense solution to make sure that a concealed carry license or permit from one state is valid in all 50 states, protecting your constitutional rights as well as the right to self-defense across states lines.

With President Trump declaring that he would sign a concealed carry reciprocity bill if such a bill reached his desk, the Constitutional Concealed Carry Reciprocity could be signed into law soon.

This bill is a huge win for the American people, and know that I'll continue to defend the Second Amendment rights of law-abiding gun owners across our mountains and Nation. With my warmest regards, Chuck Edwards, Member of Congress.
