SAVE THE RIGHT TO BEAR ARMS — NATIONWIDE

Tell Congress to fix and pass H.R. 38!

Why you should care

Gun owners need—and deserve—strong protection of our right to bear arms! 

President Trump has already expressed support for strong nationwide carry laws. But unless Congress passes strong legislation to enact desperately needed nationwide protections for the right to bear arms, gun owners like you will not be able to lawfully carry for self-defense throughout the United States. 

H.R. 38, the “Constitutional Concealed Carry Reciprocity Act,” is a well-intentioned bill but has serious legal flaws that must be fixed. That’s why we are working to rally gun owners across the U.S.A. — to fix and pass H.R. 38 NOW!

Proud American gun owners must demand that Congress send President Trump a carry bill that actually works. Learn how to do that—then TAKE ACTION to fix and pass H.R. 38—right here!

When you take action, you will be automatically entered to win a SIG P226 XFIVE Legion with a Romeo 1 Pro valued at over $2,500!

3 Most Dangerous Problems with H.R. 38

Problem # 1 – Forgot your wallet? Go to jail.

• Flaw: H.R. 38 requires a person to carry a government-issued photo ID and carry license at all times when they are armed. Just forgetting your wallet or purse could lead to serious, life-altering criminal charges, prosecution, and potentially even a lifetime loss of rights. 
• FPC fix: Ensure peaceable people aren’t jailed for honest mistakes.
  

Problem # 2 – Legal traps everywhere.

• Flaw: H.R. 38 allows states and local governments to ban carry on all public property, defeating the very point of the bill and setting a legal trap for gun owners in these unmarked “gun-free” zones. 
• FPC fix: Guarantee carry rights in non-secured public places nationwide.

Problem # 3 – The felony under your floormat.

• Flaw: H.R. 38 only protects one handgun, one magazine, and only the ammunition loaded into them. Extra magazines or ammunition, a back-up firearm, or even a single loose round in a purse or under a floormat wouldn’t be covered—putting gun owners at risk of arrest and prosecution. 
• FPC fix: Ensure that people are fully protected while carrying and traveling with firearms.

Fixing & Passing H.R. 38 Matters—Even in “Constitutional Carry” States

Right now, federal law bans carry within 1,000 feet of schools unless the person has a valid, federally compliant carry license issued by each and every state they carry in. 

State-level reciprocity doesn’t exempt you from this federal law—and neither do state-level “constitutional” (permit-less) carry statutes. 

This is a real problem: the federal government is prosecuting violations of this law in federal courts right now!

Without fixing and passing H.R. 38, you could be arrested and federally prosecuted for merely driving through an unmarked “gun-free” zone on your way to work or the grocery store.

The bottom line—unless we fix and pass H.R. 38:

• Simple mistakes could lead to arrest, prison time, and lifelong loss of rights.
• Americans would need 51 different licenses to exercise 1 right.
• Gun owners would not be able to lawfully carry throughout the United States without massive risk and insane costs.
