Bill Summary
A bill to allow reciprocity for the carrying of certain concealed firearms.
AI Summary
This bill, the Constitutional Concealed Carry Reciprocity Act of 2023, aims to allow individuals who are legally allowed to carry concealed firearms in their home state to also carry those firearms in other states. The key provisions include:
1. Individuals with a valid concealed carry permit from their home state can possess or carry a concealed handgun (excluding machine guns or destructive devices) in any other state that either allows residents to obtain concealed carry permits or does not prohibit the carrying of concealed firearms for lawful purposes.
2. Individuals who are legally allowed to carry a concealed firearm in their home state, even without a permit, can also carry in other states that meet the criteria above.
3. The carrying of the concealed handgun is subject to the same conditions and limitations as imposed by the state the individual is visiting, except for the eligibility requirements.
4. If a state allows for restricted and unrestricted concealed carry permits, an individual carrying under this federal law would be allowed to carry according to the terms of an unrestricted permit.
The bill also includes a severability clause and an effective date 90 days after enactment.
