I just created a White House petition asking the President to urge Congress to pass H.R. 38 as soon as possible and get the bill on his desk!

THIS IS TIME SENSITIVE AND WE NEED TO SPREAD THE WORD FAR AND WIDE ACROSS THE NATION!

The petition requires 100,000 signature BY AUGUST 17TH to be considered by the President. Please sign and forward to any and all gun groups you know - from gun clubs, gun organizations, chat groups, friends, family, coworkers, and fellow church members!

We can do this, but we need all the help we can get from gun owners across the nation.

Here is the link to the petition:

https://petitions.whitehouse.gov/petition/national-reciprocity-nations-17-million-concealed-handgun-permit-holders

or

Here's the wording:

National Reciprocity for the Nation's 17 Million Concealed Handgun Permit Holders!

Mr. President, you have said many times that you would sign a national concealed carry reciprocity bill. Please urge Congress to pass H.R. 38 as soon as possible!

H.R. 38 will allow America's 17 million concealed handgun permit holders to carry in every state in the Union as they go about their lives. As the recent shooting in Alexandria shows, crime and terrorism have no borders. Neither should self-defense!

No other group is as law-abiding as concealed handgun permit holders, regardless of which state they are from.

Currently over 20 states, such as Virginia, North Carolina, and Arizona, already honor permits from all other states, without issue. H.R. 38 will simply make such recognition uniform across the nation and will save many innocent American lives!

30 days is not long, guys and gals! Use any forms of social media that you can to get the word out.

Let's roll, VCDL!

HR 38 is being held up from coming to the floor for a vote by Paul Ryan, as I see it.  Currently with 204 Co-Sponsors including 3 Democrats, there is not reason to hold thia back.

Also read the Senate version currently with 37 Co-Sponsors:

I signed this a while ago when it was posted. I was checking today and only 17,969 signatures ? That's hard to believe with all the permit holders in America.

RetCapt1994:
Signed but I doubt this will be passed. You have to remember I am a glass half empty guy. Regards to all at decww.

Some people just don't believe petitions make a difference. Some don't know there is a petition going around. Some petition web sites use them to get your name and email address to sell.
Lots of reasons this petition has low volume of signors.

The problem is that Paul Ryan and Mitch McConnell won't bring them to the floor for a vote. Trump already said he would sign if passed. Ryan and McConnell are the gate keepers of legislation. If these bills don't come to the floor of their respective chambers, They are the ones to point fingers at. Then come their next election run, DUMP THEM, in favor of more conservative Republicans in their states.
