The House Judiciary Committee, led by Chairman Jim Jordan (R-OH), is planning to hold a legislative markup on March 25, 2025 at 10 am EST. The committee will be considering several bills during this markup, two of which are of crucial importance to law-abiding gun owners. A committee markup is often a critical step in advancing legislation to the floor of the U.S. House for passage.
The first piece of legislation up for consideration, and the NRA’s top priority, is H.R. 38, the “Constitutional Concealed Carry Reciprocity Act” introduced by Representative Richard Hudson (R-NC). This bipartisan legislation would provide nationwide reciprocity for concealed carry license holders and for residents of Constitutional Carry states. This legislation currently has 177 cosponsors in the U.S. House.
“The U.S. Supreme Court has repeatedly affirmed an individual’s fundamental right to keep and bear arms,” said John Commerford, Executive Director of NRA-ILA. “Congress should now ensure that the right to self-defense does not end at a state line. NRA applauds and thanks Representative Hudson for his longstanding and unwavering leadership in the fight for right-to-carry reciprocity.”
Another bill being considered by the committee is H.R. 2184, the “Firearm Due Process Protection Act” introduced by Representative Tom Emmer (R-MN). This legislation provides legal recourse for law-abiding Americans who were improperly denied the ability to legally purchase a firearm due to administrative errors during a background check and increases congressional oversight of the Federal Bureau of Investigation. It’s cosponsored by 14 of Emmer’s Republican colleagues in the House of Representatives.
“Year after year, thousands of Americans are erroneously denied their constitutional rights due to clerical errors in the National Instant Criminal Background Check System (NICS),”said John Commerford, Executive Director of the NRA-ILA. “On behalf of our millions of members and gun owners across America, we applaud Representative Tom Emmer for the introduction of this commonsense legislation which will provide law-abiding Americans a course of action to correct these errors in a timely manner while at the same time holding the FBI and its NICS system accountable to Congress.”
NRA-ILA would like to thank Chairman Jordan alongside his pro-Second Amendment House Judiciary colleagues for calling this legislative markup on these two critical Second Amendment bills.

Our friends up in Warsaw, NY invited us to visit them during apple-picking season. They have a small orchard. Although national reciprocity has a snowman’s chance on a Florida beach, it would sure be nice to be able to carry when we go up for the harvest.
“… it would sure be nice to be able to carry when we go up for the harvest.”
Savor, you can carry on their property, just not out and about where the violent felons roam…
Going back and forth between CA and NV, I have to maintain two separate permits. Shouldn’t have to be forced to apply for *any* in the first place.
Nope, possession of a pistol without an appropriate permit in the state of NY at best ends with a misdemeanor and less firearms. With that said lots of crimes go unnoticed.

What?
“read her book” in turkish.
I own a house in Nevada and a house in California, I have a California driver’s license and a Nevada ccw at the time, it was almost impossible to get a ccw in California, I’m hoping for a US CCW to finally happen soon before I apply for a California ccw. Let really think about this with some common sense, why should anyone have 2 ccw permits when we could have 1 United States CCW. I hope everyone agrees
MAJOR BREAKING NEWS: THE ATF IS (in) HUGE TROUBLE.
The ATF is in major trouble after the new continuing resolution was passed. Mark Smith, Four Boxes Diner, discusses this important development.

(more background – note: Basically … as a result of the CR … ATF does not have the spending and allocation authority for the money like they did before. Instead, the CR gives Trump and Bondi the authority to decide what the money is spent on for the ATF. This effectively knee caps ATF in terms of their Biden-Harris tyranny days where the ATF could get congress to give them the money they requested as if they were an actual funding agency ‘head’ with its own budget. In reality the ATF budget money is not actually the ATF’s budget money, its actually the DOJ’s budget money and part of that DOJ budget is allocated for ATF. But during the Biden-Harris tyranny ATF was able to get themselves funded as if the money was their budget, bypassing the money being allocated from DOJ budget, and this gave ATF control over how the money was spent. The result of that was a removal of congress oversite on the allocation because once ATF got the money they simply spent it on anything they wanted without regard for the allocation categories and during the Biden-Harris tyranny the ATF used tax payer dollars to fund direct attacks on the 2A and upon innocent American citizens using Biden EO as their premise and usurping the will of congress to create ‘defacto law’, law-fare, deadly force, intimidation, threat, and ‘murder’ in what was in effect a tyrannical war of of violence waged by a terrorist hostile enemy para-military force on innocent American citizens while in the background this war was being choreographed by anti-gun groups through the Biden loyalist now-ex ATF chief counsel Pamela Hicks and Steve Dettlebach.
The 2A-community kept it in the courts, the ATF kept it in our lives and homes with threat and intimidation and deadly force warfare. Maybe we should maybe have also been engaging them for what the ATF and these anti-gun groups were, a hot-war waging terrorist para-military hostile enemy force intending to kill us and our family’s if given the chance.
