Trump Proposes National Concealed Carry Reciprocity

President-elect Donald Trump has announced a commitment to implement national concealed carry reciprocity, which would require all states to recognize concealed carry permits issued by any individual state. This legislation is aimed at allowing gun owners to carry firearms legally across state lines without encountering varying local regulations. Trump has consistently supported this policy since his first campaign in 2015, arguing that just as driver's licenses are universally recognized, so too should concealed carry permits be considered a fundamental right. His announcement was celebrated by his son, Donald Trump Jr., as a significant step in protecting Second Amendment rights. While the proposal has garnered support from pro-gun advocates, it faces opposition from gun control groups who argue it could undermine state laws designed to ensure public safety. The NRA and other organizations advocate for looser regulations, pushing for what they call 'constitutional carry' as an even broader reform.
