Battle Raging on Capitol Hill with regard to Concealed Carry
If you have ever questioned whether your emails and phone calls make a difference, then stop wondering.
Your activism on the concealed carry bills in the U.S. Senate is doing a bang-up job!
Gun Owners of America has been working with the sponsors of the soon-to-be-introduced Thune-Vitter reciprocity bill, and we can report that there are at least 15 cosponsors on the bill!
By contrast, the Begich-Manchin Democrat compromise bill (S. 2188) has only one additional cosponsor.
Senators John Thune (R-SD) and David Vitter (R-LA) plan to introduce their bill early next week — and thus, their bill won’t receive a number until then.
But we need a whole new round of emails to get even more original cosponsors on their bill. Again, the Thune-Vitter legislation will not only allow permit holders to carry out-of-state, but NON-PERMIT HOLDERS from constitutional carry states, as well.
Sadly, we have been receiving emails from our grassroots activists showing that the NRA is taking aim at our position on these two bills.
