There’s this video making the rounds in the gun community. It’s Trump in 2023, announcing plans for national concealed carry reciprocity – but folks are resharing it now as if he just made this announcement post-election.
It’s a bit confusing, right? But to clear it up, this is actually an older video from back in 2023, not a recent post-election promise.
Now, what’s got people buzzing is that Donald Trump Jr. posted it on his Instagram,
Saying: “My father just announced full concealed carry reciprocity. The 2nd Amendment will stay and remain protected.” sparking questions about whether this will carry through now that Trump’s gearing up for another term.
Trump said in the video, and I quote, “Your Second Amendment does not end at the state line.” He’s talking about making concealed carry permits work across state lines, just like a driver’s license. Imagine that – no more checking your map to see which states will treat you like a criminal just for exercising your right to self-defense.
Here’s what we know: Trump can’t pass national reciprocity on his own. He needs Congress, and lucky for him, Republicans have the House and Senate. If they get a bill on his desk, he’s likely signing it faster than you can say, “2A for life.” This time, there’s a real shot at making national reciprocity a reality.
