| 1 | | HOUSE JOINT RESOLUTION
|
| 2 | | WHEREAS, House Resolution 38, currently before the 115th |
| 3 | | United States Congress, would create national reciprocity for |
| 4 | | concealed-carry licenses, requiring every state to accept the |
| 5 | | permits of the other 49, regardless of differences in standards |
| 6 | | for who is eligible to bring a concealed gun into public areas; |
| 7 | | and
|
| 8 | | WHEREAS, Licenses to carry concealed guns are issued by |
| 9 | | state and local authorities, who also decide which outside |
| 10 | | licenses that they will accept; this creates a confusing |
| 11 | | patchwork that often makes accidental criminals of gun owners |
| 12 | | who travel with their weapons, but do not know the local laws; |
| 13 | | and
|
| 14 | | WHEREAS, The passage of H.R. 38 would simplify these laws |
| 15 | | and expand the places that a law-abiding gun owner could safely |
| 16 | | carry their weapon in the event that they needed to defend |
| 17 | | themselves; therefore, be it
|
| 18 | | RESOLVED, BY THE HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES OF THE ONE |
| 19 | | HUNDREDTH GENERAL ASSEMBLY OF THE STATE OF ILLINOIS, THE SENATE |
| 20 | | CONCURRING HEREIN, that we urge the 115th United States |
| 21 | | Congress to pass House Resolution 38 to create national |
| 22 | | reciprocity for concealed-carry licenses to simplify the laws |
