Cox, NRA-ILA Executive Director<\/p>\n<div class=\"main-img-container\">\n<p class=\"p1\">C<span class=\"s1\">hristmas came early last year for supporters of the Second Amendment, as the U.S. House of Representatives passed House Resolution 38 (H.R. 38), the Concealed Carry Reciprocity Act, on Dec. 6. National Right-to-Carry reciprocity has long been the NRA\u2019s top legislative priority. H.R. 38 is by far the strongest, most comprehensive version of this legislation we\u2019ve seen to date. Its movement through the House was an historic development in Congress\u2019 protection of our right to keep and bear arms.<\/span><span class=\"s2\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">Needless to say, it has also provoked a massive response by anti-gun forces, who will say or do anything to stop it. National reciprocity is truly a worst-case scenario for them; if it becomes law, it will debunk once and for all the myth that the carrying of firearms by law-abiding Americans is incompatible\u00a0<\/span>with public safety.<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">Indeed, the steady march of Right-to-Carry laws across the American landscape has refuted this premise already. Opponents of the bill are simply on the wrong side of history.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">At every step in the development of concealed carry, we\u2019ve heard predictions\u00a0<\/span>of \u201cblood in the streets\u201d and \u201ca return to the Wild West.\u201d But the 30-year\u00a0<span class=\"s1\">movement to liberalize concealed-carry laws has continued because these outcomes have not materialized.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">By any measure, America\u2019s experience with the carrying of concealed handguns in public has been a success. Every state now has a legal process for issuing concealed-carry licenses, with nearly 17 million licensees nationwide. Untold thousands more can lawfully carry concealed in 12 states without a license.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">The nationwide violent crime rate remains at an historic low, and licensed concealed carriers have proven to be among the most law-abiding people in the United States. In a 2013 survey of verified law enforcement officers by the website Police One, 91 percent of respondents supported the concealed carry of firearms by competent, law-abiding civilians. Late last year, 24 attorneys general in the U.S.\u2014each state\u2019s highest-ranking law enforcement official\u2014signed onto a letter urging passage of national reciprocity legislation.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">This is because innocent lives have been saved by those who lawfully carry firearms. As much as the anti-gun opposition denies this, and as much as they dismiss these individuals as \u201cstatistically insignificant,\u201d real people with families and loved ones are alive today because of these laws. This has been proven both anecdotally and statistically time and again.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">If the anti-gunners applied the same rule they apply to gun control, the \u201cif it saves just one life\u201d test, they would have no choice not only to support concealed-carry reciprocity, but to insist upon it.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\">Indeed, most arguments against national reciprocity can proceed only by outright falsehoods or by endless and increasingly convoluted double standards.<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">It would allow domestic abusers to carry firearms, opponents insist.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">No, it would not. No federally prohibited person could carry under the bill, and those include anyone who has been convicted of a felony or misdemeanor crime of domestic violence or who was subject to an outstanding domestic violence restraining order.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">Opponents also claim national reciprocity would violate \u201cstates\u2019 rights\u201d and make states with low or no standards at all for concealed carry the de facto national standard.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">This is the most ridiculous argument of them all, especially coming from those who recognize virtually no limit on federal authority to restrict the rights of gun owners, even if it disregards the policies adopted by the states themselves.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">But when the same assertions of federal authority are trained in the other direction, to protect the civil right to keep and bear arms, we\u2019re supposed to believe we\u2019re suddenly facing a constitutional crisis.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">Make no mistake, the protection of civil rights from state infringements is the essence of H.R. 38 and one of the federal government\u2019s most important functions.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">Contrary to what opponents of the bill claim, no one who supports concealed carry\u2014least of all the states who administer the laws governing eligibility\u2014wants dangerous people to have firearms. This is exactly why every state has disqualifications from obtaining a concealed-carry license for things like felony convictions. And even in those states that don\u2019t require a license to carry concealed, certain categories of presumptively dangerous people are prohibited from possessing firearms at all.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">And while gun control advocates\u00a0<\/span>can always suggest yet another category of people they\u2019d like to see disqualified\u2014usually for minor misdemeanors or extra-judicial\u00a0<span class=\"s1\">determinations\u2014it\u2019s not these far-flung disqualifiers that separate the licensing regimes in pro- and anti-gun states.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">How does this work in practice?<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">In places like Hawaii, Maryland, and New Jersey, it means basically no one gets a concealed-carry license at all.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\">In places like California or<span class=\"s1\">\u00a0Massachusetts, it depends on whether your local licensing official is pro- or anti-gun.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">And in places like New York City, it means the people who get licenses are the rich and famous\u2014actors, bankers, media personalities, etc.\u2014or, according to multiple corruption prosecutions, shady types who can hire \u201cexpediters\u201d to bribe the licensing bureaucrats, disqualifying histories notwithstanding.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">None of those systems is consistent with the idea of treating the bearing of arms as a fundamental civil right.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">Nor is these states\u2019 treatment of travelers who are otherwise lawfully carrying concealed. New York and New Jersey in particular are infamous for \u201cmaking examples\u201d of even the most innocent mistakes. In some cases, a broken taillight or un-signaled lane change is all it takes for an unwitting motorist to discover his or her out-of-state license will not be recognized.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">Even those who readily volunteer\u00a0<\/span>their mistakes to the police are treated like dangerous criminals,\u00a0<span class=\"s1\">their firearms seized, their vehicles impounded, and lengthy mandatory minimum prison sentences threatened by unforgiving prosecutors.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">Recent cases have included decorated veterans, a single mother, a prison guard whose vehicle was hit by a drunk driver, a nurse and medical student, even a utility worker who had come to help restore power after a storm.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">Indeed, those watching the markup of H.R. 38 in the House Judiciary Committee were treated to the bizarre spectacle of anti-gun committee members trying to explain why they opposed the concealed carrying of handguns even by active federal judges. The same jurists who are America\u2019s final authority on the Constitution and U.S. law were portrayed as intolerable risks for senility, instability, domestic violence, and \u201cabuse of dating partners.\u201d Ranking member Jerrold Nadler, D-N.Y., even went so far as to suggest that police officers shouldn\u2019t be trusted to carry concealed handguns across state lines.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">What motivates their opposition to the law is not whether this or that concealed carrier has a certain level of training or sufficient indicators of reliability, but their desire to eliminate the carrying of arms for self-defense to the greatest extent possible. No safeguard would satisfy them. The rest of us, however, should applaud the members of Congress who voted for the most important piece of self-defense legislation since 1789.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">The bill that passed the full House also included the Fix nics Act of 2017. This measure reinforces the NRA\u2019s consistent position that the National Instant Criminal Background Check System should be instant, accurate and fair.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">To that end, the Act would add additional layers of transparency and accountability to the system and incentives for federal agencies and states to fully report disqualifying records. It would also create a new 60-day deadline for resolving appeals of erroneous denials, a process that currently can take over a year.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">Fix nics would not create new classes of prohibited persons. It is focused on eliminating reporting gaps like the one that allowed the perpetrator of last November\u2019s terrible murders in Texas to\u00a0<\/span>slip through the cracks.<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\">The package that is now before the Senate is Congress\u2019 strongest affirmation of the right to self-defense that I\u2019ve seen. This is literally the opportunity of a lifetime.<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">That\u2019s why I am urging every gun owner in America to reject the hysteria and misinformation surrounding these measures and to urge your senators to send them to President Trump for his promised signature.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">If we stay focused and united, our greatest victory could well be at hand.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p class=\"by-line\">by Chris W.
