Motion by Jim Humay (amended)
<br>
<br>
WHEREAS, the right to bear arms is enshrined in the Second
Amendment of the United States Constitution, affirming that "the
right of the people to keep and bear Arms, shall not be
infringed"; and
<br>
<br>
WHEREAS, the current patchwork of concealed carry laws across
different states creates confusion, potential legal issues for
law-abiding citizens, and hampers the free exercise of this
fundamental right when individuals travel interstate; and
<br>
<br>
WHEREAS, United States H.R. 38, the Constitutional Concealed Carry
Reciprocity Act, introduced by Representative Richard Hudson, aims
to ensure that any person with a valid concealed carry permit from
one state may carry in another state that allows concealed carry,
thereby respecting the constitutional rights of citizens across
state lines; and
<br>
<br>
WHEREAS, this legislation would promote uniformity and clarity in
the rights of individuals to defend themselves, thereby enhancing
personal safety and reducing the risk of legal entanglements due
to differing state regulations; and
<br>
<br>
WHEREAS, the Libertarian Party fundamentally supports the
reduction of government overreach and the protection of individual
liberties, including the right to self-defense;
<br>
<br>
THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED, that the Libertarian Party of Illinois:
<br>
<br>
Endorses United States H.R. 38, the Constitutional Concealed Carry
Reciprocity Act, recognizing it as a critical step towards
ensuring the Second Amendment rights are uniformly acknowledged
and respected across the United States.
<br>
Encourages its members and supporters to contact their federal
representatives to advocate for the passage of United States H.R.
38, explaining the importance of this legislation for safeguarding
constitutional liberties.
<br>
Calls upon all state and local officials to support similar
measures that align with the principles of individual rights and
state recognition of concealed carry permits from other states.
<br>
Commits to educating the public on the benefits of concealed carry
reciprocity for promoting safety, liberty, and consistency in the
application of constitutional rights.
<br>
Urges the Illinois legislature to consider state-level policies
that complement the objectives of United States H.R. 38, ensuring
that Illinois residents and visitors have clear, fair, and
constitutionally consistent rights to bear arms.
<br>
<br>
BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED, that copies of this resolution be
forwarded to the members of the Illinois Congressional Delegation,
the Governor of Illinois, members of the Illinois General
Assembly, and be disseminated to the public through all available
channels of communication.
