U.S. Senators Todd Young (R-Ind.) and John Cornyn (R-Texas) reintroduced the Constitutional Concealed Carry Reciprocity Act, which would allow individuals with concealed carry privileges in their home state to exercise those rights in any other state that allows concealed carry while still abiding by that state’s laws.
“The Constitutional Concealed Carry Reciprocity Act will protect the constitutional rights of Hoosier gun owners by ensuring any individual who legally owns a gun in Indiana can transport or possess the firearm legally in other states without fear of prosecution,” said Senator Young.
More specifically, the Constitutional Concealed Carry Reciprocity Act would:
- Allow individuals with concealed carry privileges in their home state to exercise those rights in any other state with concealed carry laws.
- Treat state-issued concealed carry permits like driver’s licenses, where individuals can use their home-state license to drive in another state but must abide by that other state’s speed limit or road laws; and
- Protect state sovereignty by not establishing a national standard for concealed carry.
In addition to Senators Young and Cornyn, U.S. Senators Bill Cassidy (R-La.), Ted Cruz (R-Texas), Thom Tillis (R-N.C.), Chuck Grassley (R-Iowa), John Thune (R-S.D.), Jim Banks (R-Ind.), Kevin Cramer (R-N.D.), Tommy Tuberville (R-Ala.), Cindy Hyde-Smith (R-Miss.), Bill Hagerty (R-Tenn.), Mike Lee (R-Utah), Tom Cotton (R-Ark.), Jim Risch (R-Idaho), Marsha Blackburn (R-Tenn.), Pete Ricketts (R-Neb.), Roger Marshall (R-Kan.), Rick Scott (R-Fla.), James Lankford (R-Okla.), Katie Britt (R-Ala.), Lindsey Graham (R-S.C.), Cynthia Lummis (R-Wyo.), Ted Budd (R-N.C.), Ron Johnson (R-Wis.), Tim Sheehy (R-Mont.), John Kennedy (R-La.), Mike Crapo (R-Idaho), Steve Daines (R-Mont.), Eric Schmitt (R-Mo.), Dan Sullivan (R-Alaska), John Barrasso (R-Wyo.), Tim Scott (R-S.C.), Bernie Moreno (R-Ohio), Deb Fischer (R-Neb.), Jerry Moran (R-Kan.), Mike Rounds (R-S.D.), John Curtis (R-Utah), John Boozman (R-Ark.), Joni Ernst (R-Iowa), Roger Wicker (R-Miss.), John Hoeven (R-N.D.), Markwayne Mullin (R-Okla.), and Shelley Moore Capito (R-W. Va) also cosponsored the legislation.
The National Rifle Association, the National Shooting Sports Foundation, and Gun Owners of America endorse the Constitutional Concealed Carry Reciprocity Act.
