(Worthy News) – Congressional Republican lawmakers have introduced legislation allowing people with state-issued concealed carry licenses or permits to carry a concealed handgun in any other state in the US, The Center Square (TCS) reports.
The legislation written by Rep. Richard Hudson, R-NC, the Constitutional Concealed Carry Reciprocity Act would amend title 18 in the United States Code, TCS reports. The bill had 124 Republican co-sponsors as of Thursday afternoon.
The bill is supported by the National Rifle Association Institute for Legislative Action, Gun Owners of America, the U.S. Concealed Carry Association, and the National Shooting Sports Foundation, TCS said.
“This legislation eliminates the confusing patchwork of laws surrounding concealed carry permits that vary from state to state, particularly with regard to states where laws make unwitting criminals out of legal permit holders for a simple mistake of a wrong traffic turn,” Lawrence Keane of the Shooting Sports Foundation said in a statement. “It safeguards a state’s right to determine their own laws while protecting the Second Amendment rights of all Americans.”
The legislation is also supported by US President-elect Donald Trump, who has said he will sign the bill into law if it reaches his desk after his inauguration on January 20, TCS reports.
