U.S. Representative John Boozman (R-AR)<\/a> today introduced bipartisan legislation that protects the rights of gun owners. The Secure Access to Firearms Enhancement (SAFE) Act allows law-abiding citizens who can legally carry guns in their home state to carry all across the country.<\/p>\n\u201cThe right to bear arms shouldn\u2019t end at a state\u2019s border,\u201d Boozman said. \u201cThis legislation is key to giving gun owners the rights guaranteed by the U.S. Constitution.\u201d<\/p>\n
The SAFE Act will replace laws that only establish reciprocity between gun control states forcing gun owners to get carry permits before they bring their firearms into neighboring states.<\/p>\n
\u201cGrowing up in Arkansas where it\u2019s not uncommon to see gun rights held in high regard, I never felt like there was any potential for questioning this right,\u201d Boozman said. \u201cI feel very strongly that this law is needed to address national gun right concerns.\u201d<\/p>\n
Gun Owners of America, a non-profit lobbying organization formed in 1975 to preserve and defend the Second Amendment rights of gun owners is a proponent of the SAFE Act.<\/p>\n
\u201cAmericans can travel from state to state with their driver\u2019s licenses. Now, it\u2019s time to do the same thing with our concealed carry permits. Kudos to Rep. Boozman for introducing this reciprocity bill,” said Executive Director of Gun Owners of America, Larry Pratt.<\/p>\n
The SAFE Act has 33 bipartisan original cosponsors.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"

For a moment it was fun to think that our Sacramento Gun and Ammo Grabbers might be overruled by Federal mandate . . . but it’s probably going to be DOA in the House.<\/p>\n
