BREAKING: Sen. Cornyn Reintroduces National Concealed Carry Reciprocity Legislation
National Concealed Carry Reciprocity is back on the table thanks to Sen. John Cornyn (R-TX), who reintroduced legislation this week that would allow licensed concealed carriers to bear arms in all 50 states.

“This bill focuses on two of our country’s most fundamental constitutional protections– the Second Amendment’s right of citizens to keep and bear arms and the Tenth Amendment’s right of states to make laws best-suited for their residents,” said Sen. Cornyn of S.69, the Constitutional Concealed Carry Reciprocity Act.

“I look forward to working with my colleagues to advance this important legislation for law-abiding gun owners nationwide,” he added.

The National Rifle Association was quick to applaud Cornyn’s work, noting that concealed carry reciprocity is already a reality in at least 22 states. Moreover, that only 10 states (and the District of Columbia) take the draconian position of forcing law-abiding citizens to surrender their rights when traveling through those jurisdictions.

“The current patchwork of state and local gun laws is confusing and can cause the most conscientious gun owner to unknowingly run afoul of the law when they are traveling or temporarily living away from home,” said Chris W. Cox, executive director of the NRA-ILA in a statement. “Sen. Cornyn’s legislation provides a much-needed solution to a real problem for law-abiding gun owners.”

Good.

If drivers licences (which is a privilege) work in all states so should gun permits.

OK, but if someone knows this, please speak up: National Reciprocity passed the House last year (finally) after Paul Ryan kept it bottled up for almost 2 years while Republicans had a majority in both the House and Senate.

But isn't this meaningless, since there is no way to pass a NR bill in the current House? Even if they could vote in the Senate to advance last years House approved Bill, the Senate cannot pass such a bill without 60 Yes votes since McTurtle has not invoked the Nuclear Option to pass non budget related bills, right?

So, does anyone out there know for certain, - IF this newly introduced Senate Bill were to somehow pass, although Trump would sign it, don't we need a House passed Bill from the same session?

 

[Bob]

If not signed, the bill dies at the end of the congressional term. So the bill that was previously approved in the House is now dead.

 

[RBean]

This is all BS. The Republicans had a chance to pass this and didn't. Now they introduce a bill they know is going nowhere. Just like the Demos passing bill to reopen govt knowing Senate will not pass and Trump will not sign. All BS, BS.
