“The Second Amendment to the Constitution of the United States reads: `` . . . the right of the people to keep and bear arms shall not be infringed.'' That right is a fundamental freedom guaranteed by our Bill of Rights. That is why I am proud to cosponsor the Concealed Carry Reciprocity Act, which protects the Second Amendment rights of all Americans. This legislation says that if you are qualified to carry a gun in your own State, then you can carry a gun in any State that has a similar law. This bill will eliminate significant obstacles to the right to keep and bear arms for millions of Americans in every State. Hoosiers get it. Law-abiding gun owners have a right to defend themselves, and that right should not end at the State line. I urge support for this legislation and I ask my colleagues to join me in doing more to uphold our Second Amendment rights. ____________________”
