U.S. Senators Todd Young (R-Ind.) and John Cornyn (R-Texas) have 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,” Sen. Young said.
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 drivers’ 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.
The Constitutional Concealed Carry Reciprocity Act is endorsed by the National Rifle Association, the National Shooting Sports Foundation, and Gun Owners of America.
