“The right of the people to keep and bear arms shall not be infringed. The Second Amendment is one of the cornerstones of our liberty. That's why this morning I rise in support of H.R. 822, the National Right-to-Carry Reciprocity Act. In Mississippi, approximately 45,000 people have concealed carry permits. Now, those individuals in Mississippi that have a driver's license issued by our State can drive into Alabama or Tennessee or, for that matter, they can drive into Montana or Maine and their driver's license is recognized as being valid. H.R. 822 applies that same principle to people with their concealed carry permits. This legislation does not require or authorize action by any Federal agency. New rules or regulations won't be needed to implement H.R. 822. It doesn't override any State or local law. A concealed carry permit holder would still be required to comply with the laws of the State he or she is in. I support the National Right-to-Carry Reciprocity Act because it expands freedom for law-abiding gun owners, while respecting each State's right to set its own laws. ____________________”
