OOIDA National Call to Action - S845
Please call your U.S. Senators ASAP! As you may recall, earlier this year Senator John Thune (SD) introduced S.845, the “Respecting States Rights and Concealed Carry Reciprocity Act of 2009”. If enacted, S.845 would allow individuals who have a concealed carry permit the ability to carry a firearm in all 50 states and the District of Columbia. As things stand now, some states refuse to honor concealed weapons permits from other states. This bill will go a long ways towards ensuring the safety of you and your fellow truckers when you are on the road.
