Could nationwide concealed carry reciprocity finally be gaining momentum? President Donald Trump certainly gave gun owners reason for optimism this week.
Speaking at a rally Tuesday at the Mack Trucks facility in Macungie, Pennsylvania, Trump was joined by NRA President Bill Bachenberg when the conversation turned to one of the biggest priorities in the gun-rights world: national right-to-carry legislation.
According to reporting by American Rifleman, Bachenberg asked Trump whether he supports nationwide carry reciprocity.
The crowd’s response came before Trump could finish the question.
“How do you feel about national right to carry?” Trump asked.
The audience erupted in cheers.
“That’s my free poll,” Trump joked. “You know what that is? That’s a free poll. I don’t have to pay $300,000 to somebody that doesn’t even do polling… National right to carry… Yeah, we’re working on it.”
That simple statement immediately grabbed the attention of 2A advocates.
Trump also praised the NRA for its longtime support, telling the crowd the organization has stood by him “right from the beginning.”
“They always give me their endorsement because I saved the Second Amendment,” Trump said. “You think it’s easy? On occasion, it was not easy.”
For supporters of national reciprocity, Trump’s comments represent another public commitment to legislation that has been discussed for years.
As American Rifleman noted, Trump previously said during an Oval Office interview in 2020 that he would sign a national reciprocity bill if one reached his desk.
The legislation receiving the most attention remains the NRA-backed Constitutional Concealed Carry Reciprocity Act (H.R. 38 and S. 65). If enacted, the bill would allow people with valid concealed carry permits (or residents of constitutional carry states) to carry concealed firearms in other states where concealed carry is legal.
Supporters argue it’s a simple extension of constitutional rights.
After all, your First Amendment rights don’t disappear when you cross a state line. Neither do your Fourth or Fifth Amendment protections.
Many of us ask why the Second Amendment should be treated differently.
The Supreme Court has repeatedly affirmed that law-abiding Americans have an individual right to keep and bear arms through decisions like Heller, McDonald, and Bruen. Even so, concealed carry laws still vary dramatically from state to state, leaving travelers to navigate a patchwork of regulations.
JUST IN: President Trump reveals his administration is working on NATIONAL RIGHT TO CARRY

Whether Congress can gather enough votes to move national reciprocity remains an open question.
But if Trump’s comments are any indication, the administration appears interested in trying.
For millions of gun owners who have long supported nationwide reciprocity, hearing the president say “we’re working on it” was likely the most encouraging part of the speech.
