President Donald Trump said Tuesday that his administration is “working on” national right-to-carry legislation, a comment that could signal White House support for a proposal that would dramatically expand firearm carry rights across the U.S.
While speaking at the Mack Trucks facility in Macungie, Pennsylvania, Trump recognized National Rifle Association (NRA) President Bill Bachenberg in the crowd, saying the organization has endorsed him since the beginning because he “saved the Second Amendment.”
Trump then asked attendees whether they supported national right-to-carry legislation before adding, “Yeah, we’re working on it.”
Fox News Digital has reached out to the NRA and the White House for comment.

Trump’s comments come more than three months after Sen. Mike Lee, R-Utah, introduced the National Constitutional Carry Act, legislation that would eliminate concealed-carry permit requirements nationwide for eligible Americans.
“The Founders established a national right to keep and bear arms, not to ask for permission from hostile local officials or risk imprisonment for crossing the wrong state line,” Lee said in a statement to Fox News Digital in March.

“Many states already protect the right to carry without a permit, and it’s time to reaffirm this right for all law-abiding Americans,” he continued. “The National Constitutional Carry Act will establish nationwide permitless carry to keep America safe and her people free.”
Currently, 29 states allow some form of constitutional carry, meaning residents can carry a concealed firearm without a permit.

Lee’s legislation would allow eligible Americans who can legally possess firearms to carry concealed weapons nationwide without obtaining a permit. The bill would also prohibit states and local governments from imposing licensing requirements, fees or criminal penalties on otherwise lawful public carry while preserving restrictions in certain secured locations and on private property where firearms are prohibited.
The legislation would also ensure that individuals who are prohibited from possessing firearms under federal law would remain barred from carrying them.
The bill was previously introduced by Rep. Thomas Massie, R-Ky., in the House in 2024, but did not become law.
