A Concealed Carry Mandate would force each state to allow people from other states to carry hidden, loaded guns in public—even in states that wouldn’t otherwise let them. We can’t let that happen.

If someone’s too young to buy a beer, they shouldn’t be allowed to carry a hidden, loaded gun in public. But right now, House Republicans are pushing for a bill that would override state gun laws—making it easier for people under 21 to carry concealed guns in states that wouldn’t otherwise let them.
