U.S. House Passes
NRA-backed

National Right-to-Carry Reciprocity
Legislation



The U.S. House of Representatives has passed an
important self-defense measure that would enable millions of Right-to-Carry
permit holders across the country to carry concealed firearms while traveling
outside their home states. H.R. 822, the National Right-to-Carry Reciprocity
Act, passed by a majority bipartisan vote of 272 to 154. All amendments aimed to
weaken or damage the integrity of this bill were defeated.

?NRA has made
the National Right-to-Carry Reciprocity Act a priority because it enhances the
fundamental right to self-defense guaranteed to all law-abiding people,? said
Chris W. Cox, executive director of NRA?s Institute for Legislative Action.
?People are not immune from crime when they cross state lines. That is why it is
vital for them to be able to defend themselves and their loved ones should the
need arise.?

H.R. 822, introduced in the U.S. House by Representatives
Cliff Stearns (R-Fla.) and Heath Shuler (D-N.C.), allows any person with a valid
state-issued concealed firearm permit to carry a concealed firearm in any state
that issues concealed firearm permits, or that does not prohibit the carrying of
concealed firearms for lawful purposes.

This bill does not affect
existing state laws. State laws governing where concealed firearms may be
carried would apply within each state?s borders. H.R. 822 does not create a
federal licensing system or impose federal standards on state permits; rather,
it requires the states to recognize each others' carry permits, just as they
recognize drivers' licenses and carry permits held by armored car guards.


As of today, 49 states have laws in place that permit their citizens to
carry a concealed firearm in some form. Only Illinois and the District of
Columbia deny its residents the right to carry concealed firearms outside their
homes or businesses for self-defense.

?We are grateful for the support of
Speaker Boehner, Majority Leader Cantor, Majority Whip McCarthy, Judiciary
Chairman Smith and primary sponsors Congressmen Stearns and Shuler for their
steadfast support of H.R. 822. Thanks to the persistence of millions of American
gun owners and NRA members, Congress has moved one step closer to improving
crucial self-defense laws in this country,? concluded
Cox.
