Sen. Mike Lee introduces National Constitutional Carry Act

U.S. Sen. Mike Lee (R-Utah) on March 5 introduced the National Constitutional Carry Act to protect the right to carry legally purchased firearms without a permit nationwide. The House version of this bill was introduced by U.S. Rep. Thomas Massie (R-Kentucky).

“The Founders established a national right to keep and bear arms, not to ask for permission from hostile local officials, or risk imprisonment for crossing the wrong state line,” Lee said in his news release posted on his website. “Many states already protect the right to carry without a permit, and it’s time to reaffirm this right for all law-abiding Americans. The National Constitutional Carry Act will establish nationwide permitless carry to keep America safe and her people free.”
