GOP leaders wrong on concealed carryEditor: U.S. Rep. Both legislative titles are misleading and allow the wrong people to carry a concealed firearm.. The bills, both titled the Constitutional Concealed Carry Reciprocity Act, are a threat to law enforcement and public safety. These bills create a federal mandate compelling all states to recognize concealed carry permits issued by every other state, regardless of the issuing state’s safety standards. This effectively mandates the lowest state standard nationwide, potentially allowing untrained or higher-risk individuals to carry concealed firearms across state lines legally.
