Allen was eventually pardoned by the New Jersey governor after legal wrangling, but her case stirred a national debate over concealed-carry gun permits. On Wednesday the House of Representatives passed a bill, the Concealed Carry Reciprocity Act, that would oblige every state to recognize a concealed-carry gun permit issued by any other state. New York state, for example, has one of the most rigorous standards for anyone seeking a concealed-carry gun permit. The state can continue to enforce relatively restrictive standards for anyone seeking, within the state of New York, a concealed-carry gun permit. The remaining 43 states generally take a somewhat less restrictive approach to applications for a concealed-carry gun permit.
