H.R. 645, the National Constitutional Carry Act, is a bill introduced in the U.S. House in January 2025 by Rep. Thomas Massie, aiming to federally protect the Second Amendment right to carry firearms in public by invalidating state/local laws that restrict eligible citizens from carrying guns without permits, establishing a national standard for constitutional carry by removing penalties and financial barriers, and allowing private lawsuits against noncompliant jurisdictions.

Key Provisions of H.R. 645: Federal Preemption: Prohibits states or localities from imposing civil/criminal penalties on eligible citizens carrying firearms in public. Overrides State Laws: Invalidates any state/local laws, ordinances, or regulations that criminalize, penalize, or create barriers (financial or otherwise) to public firearm carry. Applies to All: Applies to both residents and nonresidents who are U.S. citizens and legally allowed to possess firearms. Private

Right of Action: Allows individuals affected by these restrictions to sue. Amends U.S. Code: Amends Section 927 of Title 18, United States Code, to establish these protections. Status: Introduced in the House on January 23, 2025, during the 119th Congress. Referred to the House Judiciary Committee. (As of late 2025/early 2026) It has not passed the House, Senate, or become law.

Purpose: The bill seeks to ensure consistent nationwide access to carrying firearms for self-defense, consistent with the Supreme Court's Bruen decision, which affirmed the individual right to carry arms outside the home for self-defense.
