Could It Pass?
The House bill has 189 Republican cosponsors and has already cleared committee. It could receive a floor vote at any time. President Trump has said he would sign it.
The Senate is the larger obstacle. A federal reciprocity bill would need 60 votes to overcome a filibuster, which requires Democratic support. None have indicated they would vote for it.
Law-enforcement opposition could also affect support. Groups such as the Fraternal Order of Police and the International Association of Chiefs of Police oppose the bill, citing concerns about verifying eligibility for carriers from permitless states.
