           THE CONSTITUTIONAL CONCEALED CARRY RECIPROCITY ACT

                                 ______
                                 

                           HON. CHUCK EDWARDS

                           of north carolina

                    in the house of representatives

                      Wednesday, January 22, 2025

  Mr. EDWARDS. Mr. Speaker, I include in the Record the following 
newsletter to give an update to my constituents on the Constitutional 
Concealed Carry Reciprocity Act.
       Dear Friend: H.R. 38, the Constitutional Concealed Carry 
     Reciprocity Act, that I'm co-sponsoring fixes a disjointed 
     system in which a law-abiding citizen who holds a concealed 
     carry permit in one state can become a criminal for simply 
     crossing states lines with a firearm without having a 
     concealed carry permit from the second state.
       The Second Amendment doesn't stop at state lines and this 
     bipartisan bill is a commonsense solution to make sure that a 
     concealed carry license or permit from one state is valid in 
     all 50 states, protecting your constitutional rights as well 
     as the right to self-defense across states lines.
       With President Trump declaring that he would sign a 
     concealed carry reciprocity bill if such a bill reached his 
     desk, the Constitutional Concealed Carry Reciprocity could be 
     signed into law soon.
       This bill is a huge win for the American people, and know 
     that I'll continue to defend the Second Amendment rights of 
     law-abiding gun owners across our mountains and Nation.
           With my warmest regards,
                                                    Chuck Edwards,
     Member of Congress.
