The resolution expresses the support of the West Virginia House of Delegates for the National Concealed Carry Reciprocity Act, which is currently pending in Congress. This act aims to amend federal law to require all states to recognize concealed carry permits issued by other states, similar to how driver's licenses are recognized across state lines. The resolution highlights the varying concealed carry laws among states and emphasizes the need for West Virginia residents with concealed carry permits to be able to carry their weapons in other states without the concern of their permits being recognized.
The House of Delegates formally requests that Congress pass this legislation, which would simplify the process for West Virginians traveling to other states that permit concealed carry. The resolution concludes by directing the Clerk of the House to send a copy of the resolution to the West Virginia Congressional delegation, reinforcing the state's position on this matter.
