Assessments
Richard Hudson sponsored H.R. 38 in the 119th Congress to create national concealed carry reciprocity, and the bill was reported by the House Judiciary Committee and placed on the Union Calendar on 2025-10-03. However, it still had only Introduced status, with no House passage, Senate passage, presidential approval, or enactment. The Senate companion S.65 also remained introduced and referred to committee. This is a serious legislative attempt but not fulfillment of the promised policy outcome.
Richard Hudson sponsored H.R. 38 in the 119th Congress to establish national concealed carry reciprocity, and the bill was reported by the House Judiciary Committee and placed on the Union Calendar. However, the promised outcome has not been enacted into federal law: the bill remains at the introduced/reported stage with no final House passage, Senate passage, or enactment. This is a serious legislative attempt but not fulfillment of the policy promise.
Richard Hudson sponsored H.R. 38 in the 119th Congress to create national concealed carry reciprocity, and the bill materially advanced when the House Judiciary Committee reported it and it was placed on the Union Calendar on October 3, 2025. However, available congressional status still shows no House passage, Senate passage, or enactment, so the promised federal expansion has not been delivered. Because Hudson made a serious legislative attempt that has not produced the promised legal outcome, this is best scored as never with an effort badge rather than unresolved or delivered.
