Urges Congress and US President to enact "Concealed Carry Reciprocity Act."
New Jersey's Senate resolution (SR 13) urges Congress and the President to pass the "Concealed Carry Reciprocity Act" (H.R. 38). If enacted, this federal bill would require all states to recognize concealed carry permits issued by other states, allowing law-abiding citizens with valid permits to carry concealed firearms while traveling. Currently, 18 states only honor permits from select states, leaving travelers without protection in some jurisdictions. The resolution specifically asks Congress to advance this measure to ensure consistent Second Amendment rights during interstate travel.
