Hi -
Imagine being in a crowd of people, with no clue who around you could be carrying a hidden, loaded gun with no questions asked.
Sounds like a nightmare, right?
But it's a reality that over 200 Republicans in Congress are pushing by co-sponsoring a dangerous bill gutting our state gun laws. Learn more about Congress' reckless Concealed Carry Mandate in our explainer video >>

Many states have common sense requirements and standards in place for who can carry a concealed, loaded gun in public. The strongest among them require a permit, background check, and safety training—and also block people who have been convicted of violent crimes or pose a danger to the public.
But there are states with much weaker requirements and standards, and some that don't have any at all.
Congress' Concealed Carry Mandate would force states to recognize the concealed carry standards of every other state—even those with no standards at all.
That means people who have never handled a gun before or have dangerous histories—violent criminals, domestic abusers, even convicted stalkers—could carry hidden, loaded guns in public in states that wouldn't otherwise let them.
Learn more about the dangerous public safety impacts of this bill and how you can take action to stop it.
Thanks for being in this fight,
