Protect the 2nd
Amendment!

What’s New:
I introduced a bill to protect the Second Amendment and law-abiding gun owners. My
bill would
reform the Firearm
Owners Protection Act (FOPA) to protect travelers who are transporting firearms across state
lines.
Why It
Matters:
Law abiding gun owners
traveling with their firearms have been harassed with arrests and
prosecutions simply for traveling through anti-gun states.
For example, Greg Revell, a Utah resident,
was flying to Pennsylvania, and a delayed connection flight caused him
to stay overnight in New Jersey. The next morning, Greg went to
recheck his baggage, declaring his unloaded handgun to the counter agent.
Police officers quickly arrested Revell for illegal possession of a
handgun and ammunition under New Jersey Law. Greg was booked into jail
for three days until he could post his bail. Greg filed a civil suit but
the court said FOPA currently doesn’t protect travelers.
That’s why I introduced my bill.
My bill strengthens and updates FOPA to protect law abiding citizens
like Greg and their Second Amendment rights to travel safely with
legally owned firearms.

What's Next:
I will continue
working to get this bill signed into law. I will always fight to protect
your Second Amendment rights.
