Trump Announces National Reciprocity Bill for Concealed Carry Permits, May Use Executive Order

Nov 10, 2024, 01:37 AM

Former President Donald Trump has announced his intention to sign a national reciprocity bill for concealed carry permits. This legislation would allow individuals with concealed carry permits to legally carry their firearms across state lines, regardless of differing state laws. The announcement has garnered significant attention and support from gun rights advocates, who see it as a major step forward for Second Amendment rights. However, states with stricter gun control laws, such as California and New York, are expected to oppose the measure. Trump indicated that he could pursue this through an executive order if necessary, and supporters are urging Congress to pass the bill as soon as possible.
