Friend,

Imagine if anyone could come into your state carrying a loaded weapon in public – regardless of your existing state laws. That’s the terrifying reality that gun lobby extremists in Congress and President Trump want.

Lawmakers have wasted no time in introducing dangerous concealed carry reciprocity bills – meaning anyone with a concealed carry permit could travel to all 50 states with their concealed weapon regardless of that state’s law on concealed carry – and tomorrow, they take the next dangerous step in pushing them through Congress.

We’ve fought the NRA and Trump’s deadly agenda on guns before and won – and we’re ready to do it again, but we need you with us. We’re asking gun violence prevention activists to speak out against deadly concealed carry reciprocity NOW. Add your name to Brady's urgent petition and tell lawmakers Americans stand against concealed carry reciprocity. >>

Trump campaigned on the promise to sign a "national permitless concealed carry" law. In many cases, this means individuals can carry loaded weapons with reckless abandon, and without any requirements for training, proficiency or knowledge that this individual has ever so much as fired a weapon. Concealed carry is proven to increase gun violence — in some cases by as much as 15%.

Friend, we are all less safe when anyone could be carrying a loaded firearm.

The truth is that the NRA's guns everywhere agenda is not what the American people want. The majority of Americans support bipartisan, common-sense gun safety laws that save lives – and there could not be a more critical time to make this undeniably clear. Will you send a message to Congress now and make it undeniably clear: We want more lives saved, not more people carrying concealed weapons! 

Thanks for being in this fight with us, Friend.
