Last week, U.S. Representatives Tracey Mann and Richard Hudson led over 120 colleagues in introducing H.R. 38, the Constitutional Concealed Carry Reciprocity Act. The bill would establish nationwide reciprocity for concealed carry permit holders and residents of constitutional carry states, protecting and upholding their Second Amendment rights.
Nearly 22 million Americans currently hold concealed carry permits, according to the Crime Prevention Research Center. Following his election victory, President Trump voiced his support for full concealed carry reciprocity.
Rep. Mann, a strong advocate for the Second Amendment, introduced the RIFLE Act in January 2024 to challenge the Biden administration’s Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, and Firearms (ATF). He also voted in June 2023 to block an ATF rule reclassifying pistols with stabilizing braces and has opposed Biden’s executive orders and proposals for an assault weapons ban.
