GOP Senators Push for Concealed-Carry State Reciprocity Law
Republican senators are supporting legislation that would allow people with state-issued permits for concealed weapons to use the permits in other states with concealed-carry laws.
The lawmakers hope to give licensed permit holders the opportunity to protect themselves when they travel to other states.
The Concealed Carry Reciprocity Act of 2014, introduced Republican Sen. John Cornyn of Texas, would require states to respect other states' permits much in the way each state respects the drivers' licenses of those who are not residents.
“Second Amendment rights shouldn't stop at the state line,” said Republican Sen. Thad Cochran, of Mississippi, a co-sponsor of the legislation. “It makes sense to allow law-abiding gun owners to take their concealed-permit privileges with them to states that also allow concealed-carry permits.”
