U.S. Senator Mike Lee (R-UT) has introduced the National Constitutional Carry Act to protect the right to carry legally purchased firearms without a permit nationwide. You can find his press release here.
Currently, 29 states allow some form of constitutional carry, meaning residents can carry a concealed firearm without a permit. Lee’s legislation, which he introduced on Thursday, March 5, 2026, would eliminate concealed carry permit requirements nationwide for eligible U.S. citizens — those already legally allowed to own a firearm.
The legislation was previously introduced by Rep. Thomas Massie, R-Ky., in the House in 2024 but did not become law.

Whether the National Constitutional Carry Act will pass is uncertain, with legislative trackers viewing its passage as unlikely. We can change that outcome by asking your Senator & Representitive to please cosponsor this bill. The bill—designated as S.4013 in the Senate and H.R.645 in the House—remains in the early committee referral stage.
This could be the bill that finally removes any and all infringement of the the 2nd Amendment.
