Some politicians would have you believe that concealed-carry reciprocity would do nothing more than to allow criminals from a state with a lower legal threshold to carry to wreak havoc in other states.
The drive behind NRA-backed concealed carry reciprocity legislation is rolling rapidly. The Constitutional Concealed Carry Reciprocity Act sponsored by Sen. John Cornyn now includes 37 co-sponsors.
On Monday U.S. Sen. John Cornyn, R-Texas, introduced national Right-to-Carry reciprocity legislation in the form of S. 446, the Constitutional Concealed Carry Reciprocity Act of 2017, and was quickly cheered by gun-rights supporters.
National reciprocity legislation is moving closer and closer to being heard in the House. H.R. 38, the Concealed Carry Reciprocity Act of 2017, now has 212 co-sponsors—Congressman Bob Goodlatte, R-Va., was the latest to sign on, as NRA-ILA recently noted.
