GovInfo lists H.R. 38 as the Constitutional Concealed Carry Reciprocity Act of 2025, reported in the House, with Kevin Hern of Oklahoma among the cosponsors. The bill's full title would amend title 18 to allow nonresidents who may carry concealed firearms in one state to do so in another state.

Unverified model/legacy excerpt; not proof. AI summary (separate from source): Hern remained formally attached to a same-term concealed-carry reciprocity bill, but the official record shows a House-reported bill, not enacted law.

The House Clerk records Roll Call 190 on May 21, 2026, for H.R. 1041, the Veterans 2nd Amendment Protection Act. The vote question was passage, the status was Passed, and Hern (OK), Republican, voted Yea.

Unverified model/legacy excerpt; not proof. AI summary (separate from source): Hern took another same-term pro-Second-Amendment vote by supporting House passage of H.R. 1041, but this is still a partial legislative step rather than full delivery of the broader pledge.

Assessments

Public state: unverified As of unknown · legacy_unverified · . Original AI recommendation (not independently established): partial. same_term A for effort

Hern took same-term federal action consistent with the pledge by cosponsoring H.R. 38, the 2025 concealed-carry reciprocity bill, and voting yea on House passage of H.R. 1041, a pro-Second-Amendment veterans firearms measure. However, the core concealed-carry reciprocity proposal had only been reported and placed on the Union Calendar, not enacted into law, and the broader promise to protect Second Amendment rights by opposing gun restrictions is not shown as fully delivered. This supports partial credit rather than full delivery.

Kevin Hern took a concrete same-term step toward the promise by cosponsoring H.R. 38, the Constitutional Concealed Carry Reciprocity Act of 2025, on January 3, 2025. That supports the 'supporting concealed carry reciprocity' portion of the pledge. But the bill was not enacted, and the provided record does not show a completed federal policy outcome or enough evidence that the broader promise to oppose gun restrictions was fully delivered. This supports partial credit rather than full delivery.
