Sessions Applauds Passage of Concealed Carry Reciprocity Act

Texas Insider Report: WASHINGTON D.C. - U.S. Congressman Pete Sessions (TX-32) Chairman of the House Committee on Rules released the following statement applauding the passage of the Concealed Carry Reciprocity Act:

 Last month a tight knit community in my home state of Texas was devastated by a deranged murderous individual who took the lives of dozens of innocent men women and children in a place of worship. During this horrific act a law abiding citizen heard the shots and jumped into action to save the few lives that were remaining. Because of his bravery and his 2^nd Amendment right he was able to protect himself as well as the others in that church. I have always believed that our communities are safer because of these Good Samaritans who responsibly and lawfully keep and bear arms. I proudly supported this bill because it­ not only ensures that an individuals right to carry doesnt stop at state lines but it also strengthens the National Instant Criminal Background Check System to prevent a lapse in the system like the one that occurred with the Sutherland shooter.
