H.R. 822 `National Right-to-Carry Reciprocity Act of 2011'

The Second Amendment to the Constitution of the United States protects the fundamental right of an individual to keep and bear arms, including for purposes of individual self-defense.

The overwhelming majority of individuals who exercise the right to carry firearms in their own States and other States have proven to be law-abiding, and such carrying has been demonstrated to provide crime prevention or crime resistance benefits for the licensees and for others.

I am a strong advocate of the Second Amendment and I understand that during the next few weeks H.R. 822 will be debated.

I respectfully request that you VOTE IN FAVOR OF H.R. 822 'National Right-to-Carry Reciprocity Act of 2011' and any or all subsequent bills of similar nature in support of a National Right-to-Carry law.

It's high time that Congress starts to take actions and send the clear message to the American people that our Second Amendment Right to Bear Arms in not in jeopardy.
