National reciprocity legislation—H.R. 38—would treat concealed carry permits like driver’s licenses, making a permit from one state valid in the other 49. Massie is the sponsor of H.R. 2909, which covers a blind spot in the national reciprocity legislation by mandating that Washington DC recognize concealed carry permits from all 50 states.

H.R. 38 was introduced in Congress on January 3, 2017, and HR 2909 was introduced in June, following the attack on GOP Congressmen at Congressional Baseball Practice. But both bills are currently languishing in Congress.

Mark Walters asked Massie about the lack of movement on national reciprocity, and Massie said, “The Speaker told me he didn’t think the timing was right.” An exasperated Massie then added, “But this is the exact time to bring this bill. So it is frustrating for me.”

I never trusted Eddie Munster. He's sneaky.

I oppose national reciprocity on the basis that it affirms the need for a permit to exercise your right. In other words, there is infringement "baked in". I'd much rather see Congress pass a national constitutional carry law.

It will NEVER happen. Why would Hawaii or NYC allow someone visiting from another state to carry a gun concealed when they won't allow their own residents to carry one?

Point being those states have terrible laws enacted by liberal nannies and should not be allowed to override individual rights.
