 Rep. Hudson Introduces National Concealed Carry Reciprocity Bill
Posted By Stephen Gutowski On January 3, 2017 @ 5:29 pm In Issues | No Comments

Republican Rep. Richard Hudson (N.C.) on Tuesday introduced a bill that would require states to recognize each other’s gun carry permits.

The Concealed Carry Reciprocity Act of 2017 would address the patchwork nature of the country’s gun carry laws. Currently, each state decides which other states’ gun carry permits it will recognize. Some states recognize all other states’ permits, other states recognize no other states’ permits, and many fall somewhere in between. Gun rights advocates have long decried the web of local laws as confusing and unfair–one in which a wrong turn or missed exit could end in an otherwise law abiding gun owner unintentionally committing a felony.

“Our Second Amendment right doesn’t disappear when we cross state lines, and this legislation guarantees that,” Hudson said in a statement. “The Concealed Carry Reciprocity Act of 2017 is a common sense solution to a problem too many Americans face. It will provide law-abiding citizens the right to conceal carry and travel freely between states without worrying about conflicting state codes or onerous civil suits.”

Hopefully this will have a feature that covers magazine capacity, too.

This is a much-needed law. And yeah, the California 10 round capacity limitation is a major headache if you live out that way.

The issue of magazine capacity will have to be addressed. If I leave North Dakota for California even with reciprocity, but have a 13 or 15 round mag in the pistol, then I would be open to prosecution for violating a law banning what is just a tin box with a spring...
