Millions of Americans could soon have broader concealed carry rights, as the House GOP advances a Trump-supported bill.

A bill has been introduced by a House GOP leadership member to broaden concealed carry rights for Americans nationwide.

On Tuesday, Richard Hudson, R-N.C., the head of the House GOP campaign committee, will reveal his Constitutional Concealed Carry Reciprocity Act, which has already gained the support of over 120 fellow House Republicans.

Rep. Jared Golden, D-Maine, has also provided support for the proposal.

"According to Hudson, the topic being discussed is the recognition of a permit issued by one state by another, similar to how a driver's license is recognized across states. When driving from North Carolina to D.C. through Virginia, Hudson does not need to take a driver's test to obtain a license from Virginia, as the state recognizes the North Carolina license."

If presented with a bill, President-elect Trump has stated that he would sign it.

In a video from the start of his 2024 campaign, he stated that he would sign concealed carry reciprocity and emphasized that the Second Amendment does not stop at state borders.

Days after his father won the presidency in early November, Donald Trump Jr. shared a clip.

Trump has been discussed with Hudson regarding the issue, but not about the specific legislation.

The North Carolina Republican acknowledged that he would require assistance from him to pass it through the Senate.

In 2017, the bill passed the House but was not considered by the Senate.

Despite the challenges, he believes that the bill has a chance of reaching the White House due to the Republican control of Congress and the presidency.

Since 2017, we've had the best chance of getting this into law, according to Hudson.

In 2023, data from the Social Science Research Network revealed that approximately 22 million Americans possess a concealed carry permit.

In New Jersey, a single mother from Philadelphia, Shaneen Allen, was arrested for unlawful possession after being pulled over during a routine traffic stop and informing officers of her concealed carry permit and the firearm in her vehicle.

Hudson stated that there are various state laws regarding concealed carry, and this bill aims to clarify and rectify the issue where a law-abiding citizen can be considered a criminal by crossing an invisible state line.

The bill is supported by pro-gun groups such as Gun Owners of America (GOA), the NRA Institute for Legislative Action, the National Shooting Sports Foundation, and the U.S. Concealed Carry Association.

Aidan Johnston, GOA Director of Federal Affairs, stated that since all 50 states issue concealed carry permits, 49 states allow nonresident carry, and 29 states have permitless or constitutional carry, it is logical for Congress to ensure that each state's concealed carry license is valid in every other state.
