Stutzman Reintroduces Concealed Carry Legislation

Statement

Today, U.S. Congressman Marlin Stutzman issued the following statement after introducing the Constitutional Concealed Carry Reciprocity Act of 2015. This legislation allows law abiding citizens who carry a concealed handgun in their home state to carry a concealed handgun in in every other state in accordance with those states' laws.

"Americans enjoy a natural right to self-defense preserved by the Second Amendment. This federally guaranteed liberty should not be forfeited when state lines are crossed. Unfortunately, this fundamental right has been under attack from the anti-gun lobby on both the federal and state levels. This bill preserves the right to keep and bear arms for law abiding citizens while respecting the roles and responsibilities of state legislatures.

"I was very happy to see identical legislation introduced earlier today in the Senate by Senator John Cornyn of Texas. Both chambers of Congress should work together to strengthen, the Second Amendment and other individual liberties preserved by our Constitution."
