GVPedia’s new Fact Sheet outlines why Concealed Carry Reciprocity is a terrible, and unpopular, idea.
“Permitless Carry would become the de-facto rule nationwide, meaning states with stronger laws would have their laws superseded by states with no standards.” #armedwithfacts

FACT SHEET: Federally Mandated Concealed Carry Reciprocity
Pending legislation would allow a person who can carry a firearm in one state to be able to legally carry in any state, regardless of the other states’ existing law

As proposed, the National Concealed Carry Reciprocity legislation currently pending before Congress would create a national system of permitless carry, which would undermine numerous state laws and law enforcement, enshrine irresponsible gun carrying as the standard, and cost lives.

Using CDC data, we found that states that pass Permitless Carry see their gun homicide rates increase by 27% in the 3 years after passage, more than doubling the 10% average national increase over the same time period.

Permitless Cary costs lives. My new analysis with GVPedia finds that such laws increase gun homicides by 27% after their passage, more than doubling a 10% average increase in the country overall over the same time periods.
