Frequently Asked Questions

What is the National Concealed Carry Reciprocity Act (HR 38)?

HR 38, the National Concealed Carry Reciprocity Act, is a bill resubmitted to the U.S. House of Representatives. Its primary goal is to allow individuals with a valid state-issued concealed carry license or permit to carry a concealed handgun in any other state, provided they adhere to that state's laws.

What does HR 38 allow for concealed carry across state lines?

If passed, HR 38 would permit a person legally allowed to carry a concealed firearm in their home state, with a valid license or permit and identification, to carry a concealed handgun in other states. This reciprocity aims to eliminate the need for multiple permits when traveling.

What are the limitations of the National Concealed Carry Reciprocity Act?

HR 38 is a reciprocity act, not a national constitutional carry law. It does not override state laws that allow private property owners to prohibit firearms, nor does it affect restrictions on government property. It also requires compliance with the laws of the state being visited.

What is the current status of HR 38 in Congress?

HR 38 has been resubmitted to the House of Representatives and is awaiting committee assignment. While it has co-sponsors, its passage through both the House and Senate faces significant political hurdles, including potential filibusters in the Senate.
