NO to the federal concealed carry mandate!
Republican members of Congress are pushing a dangerous piece of gun legislation that would gut lifesaving gun laws and make our communities less safe.
The so-called “Concealed Carry Reciprocity Act of 2025"(H.R. 38/S. 65) would force every state to allow individuals from other states to carry concealed and loaded handguns in public.
If the gun lobby industry and its allies in Congress get their way, the consequences will be deadly. There would be no stopgap to prevent people with dangerous histories—like those convicted of violent crimes, domestic abusers, and even stalkers—to carry a concealed and loaded gun in public in states that wouldn't otherwise let them.
Add your name to tell members of Congress: oppose any mandate to allow hidden and loaded firearms, everywhere.
Why is this important?
Opposing this dangerous and outright reckless legislation should be a no-brainer for members of Congress. For years, states have had the power to decide who is too dangerous to carry a concealed weapon in public and where concealed firearms are not permitted.
And while only 21 states require a permit in order to carry a concealed weapon, research shows that these states tend to experience fewer gun-related incidents. In fact, states that passed permitless carry laws saw, on average, a 27% increase in gun homicides within three years of the change, while other states saw less than half that increase during the same time period.
Polls also consistently show that a majority of Americans oppose weakening concealed carry permit laws.
This dangerous concealed carry mandate legislation must not pass.
