Are you a gun owner? Are you a gun owner with a concealed carry permit? If you answered "yes" to either of these questions, the odds are you've been keeping your eye on the slow, steady, advancement of the National Concealed Carry Reciprocity Act.
The Bill, which is currently inching its way out of Committee and onto the House floor, would mean that the rights of a concealed weapons permit holder in one state would be recognized in other states that allow similar licenses. It would make movement, and self-defense, less complicated for interstate travelers who are already qualified to carry on their home turf.
It also just makes sense. After all, if you have a concealed carry license in one state, you've obviously passed a federal background check. You shouldn't be penalized thanks to the labyrinthine firearms laws that come into play when moving about the country.
