Frequently Asked Questions

What is HR38, the Constitutional Concealed Carry Reciprocity Act?

HR38 is a proposed federal law aimed at establishing national reciprocity for concealed carry permits. It would allow law-abiding citizens with a permit from one state to carry concealed firearms in other participating states, ensuring consistent recognition of this right across state lines.

Who is advocating for the passage of HR38?

The passage of HR38 is being actively advocated for by 24 state Attorneys General, who have sent a letter to Congress urging its approval. This bipartisan effort highlights a significant push from state-level legal authorities to enact national concealed carry reciprocity.

Does HR38 benefit criminals or those prohibited from owning firearms?

No, HR38 is specifically designed to benefit law-abiding gun owners. The legislation explicitly excludes individuals who are prohibited by federal law from possessing, transporting, shipping, or receiving firearms, ensuring it does not grant rights to those who are legally barred from them.

How does HR38 address concerns about states' rights?

HR38 is framed as not infringing on states' rights. It does not change existing state laws or dictate how states manage concealed carry within their borders. States can still set their own requirements for issuing concealed carry credentials and enforce their own rules regarding gun use and display.

What is the current status of permitless carry in the US?

Permitless carry, also known as constitutional carry, is now the majority rule in the United States. This means a growing number of states allow eligible citizens to carry concealed firearms without needing a specific permit, and law enforcement in these states continues to operate effectively.
