West Bend, WI-(Ammoland.com)- The United States Concealed Carry Association (USCCA) is today applauding West Virginia Attorney General Patrick Morrisey’s decision recognize the state’s concealed carry permits for 10 additional states.

Currently, there are 23 states that recognize West Virginia concealed handgun licenses and 14 that recognize their provisional concealed handgun licenses and concealed handgun licenses, according to The West Virginia Record.

This serves as a reminder to lawmakers of how important it is to pass the Concealed Carry Reciprocity Act of 2017, and Tim Schmidt of the United States Concealed Carry Association weighed in here:

“The United States Concealed Carry Association applauds the Attorney General’s decision to recognize Second Amendment rights across state lines,” said Tim Schmidt, Founder & President of the United States Concealed Carry Association. “This move will ensure peace of mind to license holders who choose to carry and exercise their Second Amendment rights while traveling across state lines. It also serves as a reminder to Congress that the Second Amendment rights of responsibly armed Americans should be recognized across state lines, and the Senate can make that happen by voting on the Concealed Carry Reciprocity Act of 2017, which has already passed in the House of Representatives.”


About USCCA:U.S. Concealed Carry Association (USCCA)

The United States Concealed Carry Association has been urging lawmakers in Congress to follow through on their promise to pass national concealed carry reciprocity, which would ensure that concealed carry permits issued in one state would be considered valid in the other 49 states. U.S. Senator John Cornyn (R-TX) introduced the Constitutional Concealed Carry Reciprocity Act through S.446 last year and Congressman Richard Hudson (R-NC) did the same through the Concealed Carry Reciprocity Act of 2017 in H.R. 38. Both bills would ensure that concealed carry permits issued in one state would be respected in them all.

The U.S. Concealed Carry Association (USCCA) provides education, training and self-defense insurance to responsible American gun owners. Headquartered in West Bend, WI, the USCCA is the largest and fastest-growing association whose sole focus is the responsibly armed American.
