Return to “Manchin- Toomey Amendment”

Maybe I am just dense and can't get past the trees - can someone point out where it talks about reciprocity?
Their website currently has nothing to verify that position.A gun-rights group on Sunday endorsed a bipartisan compromise in the Senate to expand background checks — splitting from the National Rifle Association. .....
In announcing support, the group pointed to sections of the compromise that lift some restrictions on guns that are already in place.
The proposal essentially grants states "reciprocity" regarding concealed carry provisions.
In other words, the provision would grant gun owners the right to obtain a firearm and a concealed-carry permit in their home state, then use the permit to carry and conceal the firearm in another state.
