In all 50 states, people are allowed to carry hidden, loaded guns in public, and states make their own decisions about who can do so. But the Concealed Carry Mandate that House Republicans are pushing would undo those decisions and trample states’ rights.
Congress Is Trying to Pass a Dangerous Federal Concealed Carry Mandate. Here’s How We Can Stop It.
A federal concealed carry mandate, aka concealed carry reciprocity, would gut existing gun laws, override states’ rights, and jeopardize public safety. What you need to know about H.R. 38 and S. 65.

“If lawmakers were serious about protecting students, they’d pass laws that hold adults accountable, such as secure storage—not put the burden on kids to keep themselves safe.” - Meg Beauregard, policy counsel fellow at Everytown for Gun Safety
Some states now require public schools to teach kids about gun safety
Along with stop, drop and roll, some states are teaching students to 'Stop and don't touch that gun.'
