In a powerful statement over the weekend, President-Elect Donald Trump reaffirmed his commitment to protecting the Second Amendment by announcing his push for national concealed carry reciprocity.
This proposal would mean that concealed carry permits issued in any one state would be recognized in all 50 states, allowing gun owners to travel without worrying about crossing state lines with their legally owned firearms.
“My administration will protect the right of self-defense wherever it is under siege. I will sign concealed carry reciprocity — your Second Amendment does not end at the state line,” Trump stated.
His son, Donald Trump Jr., expressed enthusiasm about the announcement on social media, declaring, “Boom! My father just announced concealed carry reciprocity. The Second Amendment will stay and remain protected.”

Trump has been consistent in his stance on reciprocity. Since his first campaign in 2015, he has argued that if a driver’s license is valid nationwide, a concealed carry permit — which he emphasizes as a protected right, not a privilege — should be as well. In a 2020 interview, he reaffirmed his support, saying he would gladly sign a national reciprocity act if it reached his desk.
This move resonates with many gun owners and Second Amendment advocates who feel that state borders should not impact their rights to self-defense. As Trump prepares to take office, his stance on reciprocity marks another step toward ensuring that gun owners nationwide can exercise their right to carry without unnecessary restrictions.
the 2ND AMENDMENT has NO restrictions!
return the 2ND to the people/ the CONSTITUTION!
How about adding Constitutional Carry to that. Colorado has changed their concealed carry laws to make it much harder to obtain a permit. We all know they’re only getting started with this crap! It will get much worse!
Does Colorado and California and other liberal states do not understand. This is one nation under God under one president not individual states under their own ruling?
Well, that is actually the problem. We are the United States. We are individual states that have united. In this case you are correct, the right to bear arms is a restriction placed on the federal government, and that restriction would apply not only to the federal government, but also the states. 10th Amendment: The powers not delegated to the United States by the Constitution, nor prohibited by it to the States, are reserved to the States respectively, or to the people. The constitution gives the Federal governain powers. It then gives the federal government certain restrictions. But, any power not… Read more »
One issue with that is that travel is so much easier now. One can easily be flying from somewhere friendly to somewhere else friendly – yet have plane diverted to NY. Personally I abhor TSA to point I’d rather just drive across the country than subject myself to them. However sometimes unfriendly states interfere with free travel between friendly states. for example we are planning a trip from Texas to Montana – which would involve driving through the Californicated state of Colorado! As we will be stopping to visit family, FOPA would not provide protection. Now I will need to… Read more »
And with Colorado allowing cities within its borders to enforce their own restrictions on gun owners, it becomes a game of chess to see if you’re legal in that jurisdiction.
McDonald v. Chicago | OyezThe case challenged Chicago’s handgun ban after the Supreme Court ruled in Heller that the Second Amendment applies to the federal government. The Court held that the Fourteenth Amendment incorporates the Second Amendment right to keep and bear arms for self-defense.
We need to be pushing him to sign the constitutional carry bill that Thomas Massie has introduced and NOT reciprocity. Permits ARE infringements. Just because a state is required to recognize your permit, that doesn’t mean they won’t put all kinds of restrictions on when and where you can use that permit. We need to get back to what the founders intended. Government should be restricted from infringing on your enumerated rights at both the federal AND state level.
Agreed. Ban all gun laws!
We need to push him on all of the injustices: NFA, GCA, BATFE, Hughes Amendment, and Constitutional carry!
I hope that’s one of the first thing’s he does Because it is so overdue next is repealing The national firearms act of 1934 can’t wait
It’s a hollow promise. It requires congressional action. With anti-gun Scott or Cornyn as Senate Majority Leader, they will never allow it to come to the floor for a vote unless the votes are lined up for it to fail.
Thats why its up to us all to call our senators to tell them to vote for Scott NOT Thume or Cornyn. (2 more final speedbumps Mitch McConnel is trying to saddle Trump with)
Vote for Senator ‘I like red flag laws’ Scott? The junior senator from Florida who cares not for the good of the country, the constitution, or constituents but only for himself? No, none of the 3 contenders deserve the position.
He can say No to any federal enforcement action on Weapons carry, whether Concealed or Open.
HLB
Sorry, but those are all State laws. Unless someone is carrying an unregistered NFA item or aboard a plane or Amtrak, the feds cannot get involved unless the person is a felon.
They can not interfere with State Law until they are ready to enforce the 2nd Amendment through the 14th Amendment – and then they can interfere big-time. But what they could do now is not federally prosecute or assist states in prosecuting instances where people violate an Unconstitutional Federal Law such as the Gun Free School Zone and National Parks Bathroom access. Then they would not take my guns away while in a Federal Facility, as they have done once before. There are a whole lot of things they now might not do if the President says No.

“As Trump prepares to take office, his stance on reciprocity marks another step toward ensuring that gun owners nationwide can exercise their right to carry without unnecessary restrictions.”
I seem to have heard this somewhere before. Was it in 2016, perhaps? I hope it comes to pass. If it happens, with nothing taken away from us in the process, I will happily join the rest of you in thanking Trump for his restoration of freedom. Until then, I am hesitant about holding my breath.
The obstacle he had before was the Republicans refused to bring a reciprocity bill up.
There’s only two good Republicans these days, Trump and Massie. The rest are all puppets for the same masters as the Dems.
It didn’t take him long to start selecting turds again, with which to surround himself.
https://wset.com/news/nation-world/trump-leaning-toward-marco-rubio-as-secretary-of-state-pick-report-florida-senator-foreign-polucy-national-security-2024-election-cabinet-immigration-war
I agree Rubio would be a train wreck. But, I wouldn’t put much stock into what the NY Times or whoever is saying Trump’s “leaning towards” selecting.
This is the classic headline game of old. It’s click bait. They don’t have a clue who Trump wants. I’d hate to see him pick a Bushy Republican like Rubio for anything, but, we won’t know till Trump actually comes out and says himself, he’s picked so and so, for such and such position.
I hope you are right!
He selected Rubio.
Damn! Makes as much sense, elevating that turd on the world stage, as it did elevating Nikki Haley.
On the bright side, I saw somewhere that Trump picked your girl, Noem, to head DHS.
Rubio’s as much of a war monger as Haley, he’s just more quiet about it.
Agreed, Nick!
Yeah and just picked Hegseth as Secretary of Defense!
I’ll take it. Love the Elon and Ramaswamy appointments to the new agency to clean house. What a great start.
Music … Hint to them .. Follow the atf’s lead go after who ever you want , Just “clean house “
Those two need me I know how to fire the SES, individuals down to the GS14 level, and whole agencies.
Well maybe it’s time to heed the call and get out there and kick ass. I wouldn’t have any idea on what to do, oops, that thar is demcrap qualifications.
The “obstacle” was senate majority leader Mitch McConnell.
Cannot leave that little weasel Paul Ryan out of the mix. His leadership in the House was despicable and traitorous, IMHO.
Roger that. We need to make sure McConnell doesn’t choose another RINO like himself when he counts the votes on the silent election.
Don’t forget it was Ryan that turned Fox News milktoast too.
I haven’t. He’s a little prick.
Yeah, and he’s made Fox bleed bad. Very bad.
People like Tucker and Candace Owens are getting viewership that Fox can only dream about.
When turtles get in the way here, they tend to get run over…
Wrong, McConnell refused to take it to the floor, not the republicans.
McConnell’s was and is the senior Republican. HE IS THE PARTY!
Well, until they purge the senile turtle like they’re doing to Biden anyway.
He’s Uniparty
Yeah I know it’s all a uniparty. But MusicMan44mag doesn’t know that. Trying to speak his language.
It’s all bullshit till the check clears the bank
A little off subject, but a article about a group of far leftist women who are calling themselves the Tofana group after the 17th century Italian woman who poisoned her husband and gave poison to other women who poisoned over 600 men. These crazed women are online describing how to make poison to give to men who voted for Trump. Several people wrote that they are concerned about eating at restaurants or events where some psycho women could tamper with their drinks. These crazed far leftist women, are shaving their heads and wearing blue Harris wristbands. That makes it easy… Read more »
It’s going to be very interesting just to see how President Trump pulls this off!
reciprocity should be day one by executive order and not allowed to be a talking point for two years as our “representatIve” traitors bargain it away.
Well, in addition to the 2nd A and his speech on the 1st and censorship, it is high time I admit that I am over the top impressed by who Trump has been nominating for various offices. Top of the list Homan, Stefhanik, Zeldin, Rubio?, DeVos?, Musk and Ramaswamy as dumb and dumber, and of course the ever lovely Kristi Noem. AG will be critical, hopefully Patel as Lee is not a street fighter enough. Lee belongs on SCOTUS. Of course this isn’t as good a job as DeSantis would have done. I never thought Trump would pull it off,… Read more »
What the heck is going on ? I clicked on this article read it and scrolled down . I was in a comments section 11 mounths old with no way to reply .
I will have to say the comments were supprisingly germane to this article .
It has been happening more and more, IN different ways. I don”t get it.
Oldman .. Well it was a pretty positive spin , Maybe Ammoland’s way of spreading some good cheer .
Trump’s moving in the right direction.
I wonder if anti Trump gun owners will think this is a good move, or instead, somehow use mental gymnastics to argue their voting against Trump was still worthwhile?
Trump is going the right way now. In the past, he went the wrong way. I have the highest hopes now.
HLB
I think what’s helping is he listened to the flak he took, and is now listening to GOA, not the NRA.
And probably getting shot by the CIA clued him in, that it’s not the citizenry that needs to have its arms be regulated.
If Trump is moving in the right direction, why the EFF are you trying to second guess him here> Do you really know what you want?
Can you clarify your remarks?
What I want? Hmmm… Yeah, a M700 BDL would be nice, chambered in 30-06. Do you know when the new Remarms will be up and running?
The video mentions national concealed carry twice and national carry once.
Open Carry is Constitutional.
And don’t forget the Territories.
HLB
While it’s a great gesture, It’s not going to happen. I would really like to see complete removal of all firearm laws, as per the Constitution states. here lies the problem, it’s called “States Rights” Some view states rights as holy, and they may be right because that’s also defined in the Constitution. We won’t see full removal of firearm carry/travel bans in our lifetimes, or ever.
“states’rights”? NO STATE can deny any resident anyhing guaranteed under the US Constitution. When each state signed up to become part of the UNION they agreed to abide by the US CONSTITUTION.
Shall not be infringed means just that… cannot be restricted, denied, regulated, taxed, Mother May I carded.
Imposing a mandate that as a precondition to my RIGHT to KEEP and BEAR armsthat I go get permission from some state agent who will hold out his hand for some money is an infringement. It narrows, limits, puts a precondition upon my RIGHT.
I suggest you run for office of your choice and see if you can make it better. You have more motivation than the clowns there now. Good luck.
Some times people who run for and attain office need the help of Constitutional Patriots. I will help.

Oh boy, the liberals in my home state of Oregon are going to have their minds explode. “we” don’t allow reciprocity.
that is why I have multiple CHL’s…
I just have a bad feeling the Trump win is going to cost us in Oregon, in more ways than one. Look at all the blind hatred and rage coming from the clot shot left.
So, if you’re complaining about a lack of carry reciprocity, and want something done about it, and the man who just won the White House for the THIRD time, is promising to give us carry reciprocity… What’s the issue here?
If you’re complaining about pink haired wokesters, they always go bananas on cue. If it’s not Trump, it’ll be something else. They can’t be reasoned with. They just have to be beaten, in every election, at every level. Figuratively, pummel them into submission.
you missed it.. but if you lived in Oregon you’d understand. Oregon leadership during the Floyd protests thumbed their noses at Billy Williams, Fed States Attorney for Oregon. The Gov did, the Mayor or Portland did, the AG did… etc…. When we look at the press conferences by the Gov of Illinois and New York this past week.. you’ll see that they challenged the Fed’s to even think about doing anything in their state.. Which is what Oregon did in 2020 during the protests. I don’t care about anything you’ve said… I’m a forward thinking guy, way forward… my line… Read more »
So, it sounds like you’re conflicted, you want Trump, you want freedom, but don’t want to put up with the hassle of getting it.
I live near Murderapolis, I’m very familiar with urban jungles set ablaze and police stations burning down, and cops running away, all under the watchful eye of the alleged governor Tampon Tim.
But, this is all a waste of time, because as you said,
“I don’t care about anything you’ve said…”
So I don’t know why you bothered to reply.
“the pink haired wokesters”. that is what I didn’t care about… don’t over read with me.. its easy to do. cheers
Then you over wrote.
We are here to support each other and our rights.

I am looking forward to reciprocity and I would welcome constitutional carry without exception even more because if I have to have a license to carry it makes my right a privilege. I am sick and tired of the government telling me what I have to do to meet their standard when my second amendment right “Shall Not Be Infringed”.
I hope measure 114 gets blown all to HELL.
No clot shot here, I am a virgin and plan on staying that way.
I know someone that got that shot on a Friday.. on Monday, he didn’t show up to work.. Tuesday, a friend from work stopped to check on him.. he was dead. I think that shot was a huge experiment with drastic consequences.. look what has gone on in this Country… Explain it… Fauci lied, there is no question about that. I didn’t take it.. had a fake vax card that got me into concerts and bars… I just laughed at how silly and stupid these people were… Its fun being smarter. it will be interesting to see what the appeals… Read more »

Do you follow Dr. Robert W. Malone, MD, MS? If not please consider doing it. Here’s the article I received Saturday. He has a free subscription side and a small fee subscription on Substack.
He and his wife Jill are genuine patriots and freedom fighters. Me and the wife are pure bloods too. You should see his article concerning UFO’s from Sunday. Interesting not in the X Files way. https://open.substack.com/pub/rwmalonemd/p/weekly-round-up-only-we-can-prevent?r=3178qf&utm_campaign=post&utm_medium=email
Thank you for sharing. The information posted by this individual is exactly what I see on Americas Real Voice and some of Newsmax but more in depth and some scripture to boot.
He is on track and is not disseminating any lies or trash. He is the only person that with logic figured out why the left would not take the house. Of course the news job is to keep me watching, right!!!!
Take care.
I have yet another Reply waiting for approval to the above post.
Is the awaiting the mention of substack and Robert Malone?
Yes

Who gives a damn what them losers think? Those son of a bitches have had their boots on your throats for way too long. Take back your rights!
Glad you compiled these video’s confirming what I have been saying for months while some were telling me to post it and prove it because we are both liars. You just did the work for me and proved my point.
Thank you!!
IMOA, continue to CC anyway and don’t bring undue attention to yourself by acting or driving foolishly. Be aware of your surroundings and don’t let your weapon print and someone can see it. Be safe.
Sure and Mexico paid for that joke wall he tried to build
I think you, and Getout and Ledesma, Logician and Brian- the reader not the Ammoland owner, are all suffering from late stage Trump Derangement Syndrome.
It’s ok, there’s no shame. Trust me, there’s plenty of people here who are willing to help you over come your oh so dreadful mental illness, but you do need to do one thing, just one itty bitty thing, before we can help you, ok?
Open your eyes and ears, and look and listen. Can you do that? If you can, we can cure you in no time.
Nick … Like to help them out where ever it was they came in .
Well if he’s really in Arizona, one swift kick in the rear and he’s back across the border!
Needs to be in Nuevo Lerado. Get to experience real the sh-t
His Rainbow, LGBT Alphabet Soup ideology wouldn’t hold up long there… LOL
No kind of help is possible.. Past that point
Sarcasm…
Well, Biden stopped that wall, the Defense Department spent $3 million a day guarding $350 Million worth of “unneeded” border wall materials.
We paid all right..whether it was materials, guarding it, criminal gangs, terrorists, fentanyl and dozens of other horrible things done to Americans by democrats and their blind rage and hatred for this Country.
I suggest stfu.
He’s immune to facts. Instead, use sarcasm, and humor. The lefties are very unhappy people. They hate God, life, the world, themselves, everyone and everything.
Figuratively, kill them with humor. Nothing makes them crazier than seeing people laugh, and joke around.
Absolutely Colt
Because of people like you 74,000,000 voters rejected the democrat party all across our nation and elected Donald J. Trump as the 47th president of the United States. We thank you.
Don’t forget, it’s Trump’s THIRD win.
And It was a LANDSLIDE and tthe latest count in the U S House is 214 to 204 RED
I am still jazzed about the words Trump Won!
Man did he ever win!!!!
FYI… I told Getout he was 4F. He thinks it’s some outerwear brand… It’s on a different thread, so, telling you here, so maybe he won’t see it, and have is AI bot google it for him.
