National Constitutional Carry Act

Introduced·1/23/25

The National Constitutional Carry Act aims to enforce the Second Amendment rights against state and local restrictions on carrying firearms in public.

The National Constitutional Carry Act seeks to enforce the Second Amendment rights by prohibiting states and local governments from imposing penalties or restrictions on the carrying of firearms in public by U.S. citizens eligible to possess them. The bill references Supreme Court rulings that affirm the individual right to carry arms outside the home for self-defense and the incompatibility of certain state gun control laws with the historical tradition of firearm regulation.
