<[link removed]>David Chipman Gets Ability to Carry Nationwide, but You Don’t?
Dear John,
Last week, GOA alerted you to HR 354—a LEOSA reform act that would grant concealed carry privileges ONLY to off-duty and retired police officers.
I’m very grateful for the multiple thousands of messages that have been sent to Representatives’ offices. Because that bill will be coming up for a vote this week.
If you have not taken action yet by adding your name to our pre-written letter, then please click the Add Your Name button below.
ADD YOUR NAME <[link removed]>Otherwise, you can call your Representative at 202-225-3121 <tel:+12022253121>.
Tell them that our 2A rights should NOT be granted only to one special class of citizens. The Second Amendment does not and should not discriminate against different classes of Americans.
Why should anti-gun hacks like David Chipman get the ability to carry nationwide, but not you? You will remember that Chipman is the Biden nominee who almost became the ATF Director, until grassroots gun owners pounded their Senators’ offices in opposition.
So urge your congressman to pass concealed carry reciprocity for ALL Americans.
Gun Owners of America has been busy bringing attention to the inequity underlying H.R. 354.

John,
ADD YOUR NAME <[link removed]>We just learned that Republican members of Congress are making plans right now to pass HR 354 – a bill that would expand a special national carry permit which appliesONLY to off-duty and retired police officers.
Please make no mistake: Gun Owners of America would NEVER oppose the expansion of Second Amendment rights.
<[link removed]>But what we object to is Congress showing special favoritism to one class of citizens—like police, military, judges, or prosecutors—but leaving every other gun owner like YOU in the dust.
The Second Amendment does not discriminate against different classes of citizens. Every American has the God-given right to keep and bear arms. Period.
John, you and I both know that Republicans have been promising voters to give us concealed carry reciprocity for countless years.
But instead of expanding your gun rights, the House is preparing to pass this bill to allow police to carryin low security federal buildings, public buildings at national parks, and in schools with a special exception to the unconstitutional Gun Free School Zones Act.
Representative Thomas Massie explained the situation eloquently earlier this week:
“The problem is: here we are, carving out special rights for people that carry a badge.In fact, these are rights that were enshrined, protected—given to us by God butprotected—by our Founding Fathers in the Constitution, a document that we have sworn an oath to defend and uphold… We need legislation that goes further!”
House Republicans need to schedule a hearing, a markup, and a floor vote to restore your right as an American to carry firearms in public for self defense—regardless of anti-gun state licensing schemes or other gun control laws.
This is theRepublican Party’s chance to PROVE that their promises were more than just empty slogans on the campaign trail.
With the 2024 election nearly in full swing, we’re asking gun owners like YOU to hold your Representative’s feet to the fire and demand that they recognize concealed carry rights for ALL Americans.
Please add your name to our pre-written letter urging your Representative to recognize concealed carry rights for ALL Americans. <[link removed]>
ADD YOUR NAME <[link removed]>Thank you,
