Episode 165. National Reciprocity: A Trojan Horse?
In this episode of the Forge of Freedom podcast, host Alex Ooley discusses the concept of national reciprocity in relation to firearms legislation, specifically focusing on H.R. 38, the Constitutional Concealed Carry Reciprocity Act. Ooley expresses mixed feelings about the bill, highlighting its potential short-term benefits for gun owners while raising concerns about the long-term implications of federal involvement in state rights. He delves into the historical context of the Second Amendment, the doctrine of incorporation, and compares the issue of national reciprocity to other licensing matters, ultimately urging listeners to consider the broader implications of such legislation.
