Lummis supports national concealed carry bill

Rep. Cynthia Lummis is applauding a vote in the U.S. House of Representatives to pass a law that would require states that allow concealed carry of handguns to recognize carry permits issued in other states.

Lummis is a member of the Second Amendment Task Force. She says the U.S. Constitution guarantees law-abiding citizens the right to keep and bear arms regardless of where they live.

The House on Wednesday passed the bill 272-154 with only seven Republicans voting against it and 43 Democrats supporting it.

There's no parallel bill pending in the Democratic-controlled Senate, but some senators have pushed in the past to attach a similar measure to a larger bill.
