Rep. Hudson to Newsmax: Concealed Carry Reciprocity ‘Common Sense’

Rep. Richard Hudson, R-N.C., told Newsmax on Tuesday that concealed carry reciprocity “is just common sense” and that’s why he’s introduced a bill in the House that would allow concealed carry permit holders to carry their guns across state lines.

“When I drive from my home in North Carolina to D.C., I don’t have to stop at the Virginia state line and take a new driver’s test and get a Virginia driver’s license,” Hudson said on “Carl Higbie FRONTLINE.” “They recognize that North Carolina license. And so it’s just common sense that when it comes to your Second Amendment right, your right to conceal carry, that every state ought to recognize that concealed carry permission coming from a different state.”

When asked about states making different requirements and mandating that concealed carry permit holders do different things, Hudson said, “It doesn’t make sense.”
