Issues: Guns Federal, State and Local Relations

Today the House of Representatives passed H.R. 38, the Concealed Carry Reciprocity Act. Congressman Gary Palmer (R-AL) released the following statement after voting in favor of the bill.

"As a staunch supporter of the 2nd Amendment, I am a proud cosponsor of and voted in favor of H.R. 38 today. This bill protects the constitutional right for law-abiding citizens to keep and bear arms and ensures that the right does not end when you cross a state line. Overreaching restrictions placed on gun ownership are not only unconstitutional, they inevitably harm law-abiding citizens and do little to dissuade the illegal use of firearms. It is important to note that this bill would not apply to individuals prohibited from possessing a firearm under current federal law."
