Women need national Right-to-Carry reciprocity

Some states would like to remove the words “bear arms” from the right to “keep and bear arms,” but the plain fact is that self defense and the right to have access to an effective means of self defense is protected by the Constitution, and that protection does not end at your front door. The good news is that the House recently passed a bill, H.R. 822, that would require the 49 states that issue concealed carry permits to honor all state permits. If this bill becomes law, it would be an important step in the right direction and would help women protect themselves against violence while traveling.
