Jones (NC-3) continued his defense of 2nd Amendment rights and voted for H.R. 38, the Concealed Carry Reciprocity Act of 2017. Introduced by Congressman Richard Hudson (NC-8), H.R. 38 would allow a qualified individual to carry a concealed handgun into, or possess a concealed handgun in, another state that allows individuals to carry concealed firearms.\n\u201cI have long supported reciprocity for concealed carry permit holders,\u201d said Congressman Jones. \u201cLaw-abiding gun owners should never lose their 2nd Amendment rights just because they crossed state lines.\u201d\nH.R. 38 passed the House with a vote of 231-198, and now heads to the Senate for further consideration.\nCongressman Jones has been a consistent voice on behalf of gun owners, and has opposed legislation that seeks to chip away at the constitutional rights of Americans.\nFor additional information, please contact Allison Tucker in Congressman Walter Jones\u2019 office at Allison.tucker@mail.house.gov or (202) 225-3415.\n###", 1, "2026-03-30T12:14:52Z", "2026-03-30T12:14:52Z"]], "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://jones.house.gov/press-release/jones-supports-concealed-carry-reciprocity"], "units": {}, "query_ms": 2.022768836468458, "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"}
