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: “When the Founding Fathers penned the Second Amendment, the right of people to keep and bear arms was intended to empower individuals – 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’s jurisdiction should be empowered to travel to other states that allow concealed firearms without fear of prosecution – and this bill accomplishes exactly that.” | 1 | 2026-03-30T01:40:41Z | 2026-04-08T22:19:19Z |
