DescriptionPeople with permits from one state to carry a concealed firearm would generally be able to exercise that right elsewhere under a bill introduced quietly by Sen. George Allen.

"The bill would simply require states to recognize each other's concealed-carry permits and licenses, just as they recognize drivers' licenses," Allen, R-Va., said in a statement in the Congressional Record when he introduced the bill May 26.

Allen's office issues frequent news releases about his bills and views on important topics, but didn't issue one when the concealed-weapons bill was introduced.
