Right-to-Carry Reciprocity Bill Introduced

For the second time in as many weeks, a national Right-to-Carry reciprocity bill has been introduced in the U.S. Senate.

 
On March 20, U.S. Senator John Thune (R-S.D.) introduced Senate Bill 2213, the “Respecting States’ Rights and Concealed Carry Reciprocity Act.”  NRA strongly supports this measure.  Under this self-defense bill, an individual who has met the requirements for a carry permit, or who is otherwise allowed by state law to carry a handgun, would be authorized to carry a handgun in any other state that issues such permits or does not prohibit concealed carry, subject to the laws of the state in which it is carried.

Keep Your Finger Off the Trigger

The rule is “Keep your finger off the trigger until your sights are on the target.” During the act of placing a handgun in a holster the muzzle is, by definition, off of the target. It’s essential to keep the trigger guard clear as the pistol is placed into the holster.

The picture depicts a polymer holster into which a gunshot was fired. The expended round shown in the picture is nicely expanded. It was found on the ground near the shooter who holstered the autopistol with finger on the trigger. It clearly passed through the shooter’s leg before coming to rest on the ground.

Keep your finger off the trigger until your sights are on the target.
