A national concealed carry reciprocity bill is gaining momentum, with 200 people now backing it in the House of Representatives.
A bill that would make one’s concealed carry permit valid in all 50 states across the country has picked up its 200th supporter in the House of Representatives.
Introduced on Jan. 3 of this year—the first day of the 2017 legislative session—by Rep. Richard Hudson (R-NC), the Concealed Carry Reciprocity Act of 2017 now has 199 co-sponsors, bringing the total number of backers to 200 if one includes Hudson. Out of the 199 co-sponsors, 196 are Republicans and three are Democrats.
