Period.<\/p>\n<p>But countless anti-gun states across America have chosen to defy the Bruen decision by restricting your right to conceal carry.<\/p>\n<p><strong>That means, if you travel from a state where your Second Amendment rights are protected and bring your lawful firearm to an anti-gun state, you could be deemed a criminal simply for exercising your constitutionally-protected right to keep and bear arms.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>The solution is simple: <em>Any concealed carry permit issued in one state MUST be recognized by every other state in the nation.<\/em><\/p>\n<p>Just as driver\u2019s licenses are recognized nationwide, so too should your license to carry a firearm \u2013 especially since the Constitution explicitly protects gun rights, and doesn\u2019t say a peep about driving a car!<\/p>\n<p>Also, this GOA-backed nationwide carry law protects Constitutional Carry. If you\u2019re a resident of a Constitutional Carry state, then you can continue to carry without a permit nationwide.<\/p>\n<p>With the President-Elect promising to sign a national reciprocity bill into law, we cannot miss out on this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to deliver a massive victory for gun rights nationwide.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/links.gunowners.org\/u\/click?_t=9eecc33c6c1b40cf9ba24a311369bddc&amp;_m=63d6e35fddcc47c5a266957208797d69&amp;_e=CPF6LdqasBbvhCfZNnz2WaxgXsAYohcVbGGe3ZaBxRCX1qCxa1tdkHG-kZyctTQSyFyCoS-ip_y0S5QvBCGHz0vq6hmIIdbGkcajGZvPP8yCjP6lWzZCrsb7gj7vvK0TIK09DdsRQoWy37adsZTTCN-WyeRBdVde-GSPILNjAi-CsBzAbYHY9t_VAZj2xmzws7AGkTGRRcVMR__d3egSKSyAjVitMtZ6rr-mtz3piIntJ_zr8JM02pZEr9Tm4-s-\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Please add your name to our pre-written letter urging YOUR Representative to cosponsor the Constitutional Concealed Carry Reciprocity Act.<\/a><\/p>\n<p><br \/>\n<br \/><a href=\"https:\/\/www.gunowners.org\/nationwidecarry\/\">Source link <\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to enact national carry reciprocity!
