Bill > HR8

This resolution affirms the West Virginia House of Delegates' support for the National Concealed Carry Reciprocity Act (HR38), a proposed federal law that would require all U.S. states to recognize concealed carry permits issued by other states. The resolution notes that while every state currently has its own concealed carry weapons laws with varying requirements, the proposed act would create a national standard similar to how driver's licenses are recognized across state lines. Specifically, the resolution requests that Congress pass the Constitutional Concealed Carry Reciprocity Act, which would allow West Virginia residents with valid concealed carry permits to carry their weapons in other states that permit concealed carry, without needing to verify the specific details of permit recognition in each state. As part of the resolution, the House of Delegates instructs the Clerk to forward a copy of the resolution to West Virginia's congressional delegation to communicate their support for the legislation.
