House Set To Ease Gun Restrictions

The House will vote later today on a measure that would allow concealed gun holders to travel with their firearms across most state lines.

The National Right to Carry Reciprocity Act would “provide a national standard in accordance with which nonresidents of a State may carry concealed firearms in the State.”

As the Daily Caller reports:

“The legislation would allow those with permits to carry a concealed handgun in any state where concealed carry is not restricted. Forty nine states currently allow some form of concealed carry.”

The measure is expected to pass the GOP-led House. Interestingly, Senate Democrats are pushing legislation today that would fix errors in the federal background check system. The bill is aimed at keeping weapons out of the hands of drug abusers and those who are mentally ill.
