This panel discussion from the 2018 SHOT Show focuses on national concealed carry reciprocity legislation. The proposed bills aim to treat a concealed carry license like a driver's license, allowing lawful permit holders to carry across state lines. Speakers highlight the current patchwork of state laws as confusing and intimidating for gun owners, citing an example of a lawful permit holder being arrested for carrying in a state where her permit was not recognized. The discussion contrasts the House bill (HR 38) with Senator Cornyn's bill, noting a key difference regarding non-resident permits. Opposition arguments are addressed, emphasizing that the legislation protects existing rights rather than expanding them, and law enforcement perspectives are shared, with a former officer stating it's easy to distinguish law-abiding citizens from criminals.
