Frequently Asked Questions

What is the Constitutional Concealed Carry Reciprocity Act (H.R.38)?

H.R.38 is a bill introduced into the U.S. Congress that aims to establish national concealed carry reciprocity. It would allow individuals who are legally permitted to carry a concealed handgun in their home state to carry concealed in other states.

How did the NYSRPA v. Bruen decision impact concealed carry laws?

What is the difference between 'shall-issue' and 'constitutional carry' states?

'Shall-issue' states require a permit to carry concealed, but will issue one if objective requirements are met. 'Constitutional carry' states do not mandate a permit for individuals not otherwise prohibited from owning a firearm to carry concealed.

What are the main goals of H.R.38 regarding concealed carry?

The primary goal of H.R.38 is to resolve issues where some states refuse to recognize concealed carry permits from other states. It seeks to make it lawful for individuals to carry concealed across state lines, provided they comply with their home state's laws or permit requirements.
