U.S. Senator Mike Lee of Utah introduced the National Constitutional Carry Act on March 5 to allow individuals to carry legally purchased firearms without a permit across the United States. The House version of this bill was introduced by Representative Thomas Massie of Kentucky.
The proposed legislation aims to standardize gun carrying rights nationwide, addressing differences in state laws that can affect gun owners who travel or move between states. Supporters say the bill would reaffirm Second Amendment rights for all law-abiding Americans.
“The Founders established a national right to keep and bear arms, not to ask for permission from hostile local officials, or risk imprisonment for crossing the wrong state line,” Lee said in his news release posted on his website. “Many states already protect the right to carry without a permit, and it’s time to reaffirm this right for all law-abiding Americans. The National Constitutional Carry Act will establish nationwide permitless carry to keep America safe and her people free.”
