Frequently Asked Questions

What is the LEOSA Reform Act (HR 354)?

The LEOSA Reform Act (HR 354) is a bill that seeks to expand the places where law enforcement officers and retired law enforcement officers can carry firearms under the national carry permit established by the Law Enforcement Officer Safety Act (LEOSA).

What is the difference between LEOSA and National Concealed Carry Reciprocity?

LEOSA grants special national carry privileges to law enforcement, while National Concealed Carry Reciprocity (like HR 38) would ensure that a concealed carry permit issued by one state is recognized by all other states for citizens.

Why does Gun Owners of America (GOA) oppose expanding LEOSA without broader reciprocity?

GOA argues that expanding LEOSA creates special privileges for law enforcement while denying similar rights to ordinary citizens. They advocate for national concealed carry reciprocity, asserting the Second Amendment applies to all Americans.

How can citizens advocate for their Second Amendment rights regarding carry permits?

Citizens are encouraged to contact their Congressional representatives, specifically asking about votes on HR 354 and HR 38, and to urge them to prioritize national concealed carry reciprocity for all Americans.
