Virginia Foxx, R-N.C., voted in favor of H.R. 38, the Concealed Carry Reciprocity Act of 2017 which allows qualified individuals with a concealed weapons permit to carry or possess a concealed handgun in other states that allow concealed firearms. Representative Foxx released the following statement in support of the measure:\n\n\u201cWhen the Founding Fathers penned the Second Amendment, the right of people to keep and bear arms was intended to empower individuals \u2013 a principle that has been solidified by recent Supreme Court decisions. As a lifelong defender of the Constitution, I was pleased to support the Concealed Carry Reciprocity Act, which rightly protects Second Amendment freedoms of law-abiding Americans and their right to defend themselves on the road as well as at home. Responsible gun-owners who hold a concealed carry permit from their state\u2019s jurisdiction should be empowered to travel to other states that allow concealed firearms without fear of prosecution \u2013 and this bill accomplishes exactly that.\u201d", 1, "2026-03-30T01:40:41Z", "2026-04-08T22:19:19Z"]], "columns": ["url", "title", "date", "year", "month", "party", "chamber", "state", "member_name", "bioguide_id", "domain", "scraper", "source", "date_source", "text", "has_text", "collected_at", "updated_at"], "primary_keys": ["url"], "primary_key_values": ["https://foxx.house.gov/news/documentsingle.aspx?DocumentID=399151"], "units": {}, "query_ms": 1.5581799671053886, "source": "dwillis/congress-press", "source_url": "https://github.com/dwillis/congress-press", "license": "MIT", "license_url": "https://github.com/dwillis/congress-press/blob/main/LICENSE"}
