Frequently Asked Questions

Why has the momentum for constitutional carry slowed down?

The momentum for constitutional carry has slowed due to political factors, including state-level opposition like vetoes from anti-gun governors, and a perceived decrease in urgency among some politicians and gun owners after initial waves of legislative success and periods of heightened threat.

What role did the Bruen decision play in carry rights?

The Supreme Court's Bruen decision affirmed the constitutional right to carry firearms in public for self-defense. While it struck down 'may-issue' systems, it did not eliminate permit requirements in all states, leading many to become 'shall-issue' states instead of fully permitless.

What federal strategies could promote constitutional carry?

Federal strategies include the Department of Justice (DOJ) potentially targeting states with excessively slow permitting processes as civil rights violations. Another approach is promoting reciprocity, where states recognize each other's carry permits, as a step towards national constitutional carry.

What is reciprocity in the context of gun carry?

Reciprocity means that if a state requires a permit to carry a firearm, and you legally obtained that permit in your home state, other states will recognize your right to carry. This prevents rights from disappearing at state lines and is seen as a bridge to national constitutional carry.
