To require the District of Columbia to permit Members of Congress...
To require the District of Columbia to permit Members of Congress who have a valid license or permit which is issued pursuant to the law of a State which permits the Member to carry a concealed firearm, or who is otherwise entitled to carry a concealed firearm in the State in which the Member resides, to carry a concealed firearm in the District of Columbia, and for other purposes.
This bill proposes to require the District of Columbia to allow Members of Congress who have a valid concealed carry permit from their home state to also carry concealed firearms in the District of Columbia. The bill aims to standardize the concealed carry rules for Members of Congress across jurisdictions.
This bill would affect Members of Congress who currently hold valid concealed carry permits from their home states. If passed, these Members would have the right to carry concealed firearms in the District of Columbia, aligning their privileges with their home state laws.
As of July 29, 2025, the bill has just been introduced in the House of Representatives and has been referred to the House Committee on Oversight and Government Reform. It is in the early stages of the legislative process and has not yet been scheduled for a hearing or vote.
