Senate Joint Resolution 28, sponsored by Lowe, expresses support for the Constitutional Concealed Carry Reciprocity Act (H.R. 38) currently pending in the 119th U.S. Congress. This bipartisan legislation aims to establish nationwide reciprocity for concealed carry licenses, allowing individuals with state-issued permits to carry concealed handguns across state lines. It also supports residents of states with Constitutional Carry laws, affirming that Second Amendment rights should not be restricted by state boundaries. The resolution highlights the importance of protecting law-abiding citizens' rights to carry concealed weapons without the fear of conflicting state laws or legal repercussions.

The resolution notes that all fifty states issue concealed carry permits, with a significant number allowing nonresident carry and several having Constitutional Carry provisions. It emphasizes the need for Congress to ensure that concealed carry permits are recognized across state lines, thereby safeguarding the rights of Tennessee citizens. The resolution also points out that the Constitutional Concealed Carry Reciprocity Act has garnered support from major pro-Second Amendment organizations and previously passed the U.S. House of Representatives with bipartisan backing. The General Assembly urges the passage of this legislation and plans to send certified copies of the resolution to key federal officials and Tennessee's congressional delegation.
