The measure would allow any person with a valid state-issued concealed carry permit to carry a concealed firearm in any state that issues concealed firearm permits, or that does not prohibit the carrying of concealed firearms.

So this should easily pass Congress now.
The speaker will put it to a vote and all of the Republicans will vote yes. |

I'm against this because in order to do this ALL the states would have to agree on ONE list for no-go zones.
And IMO we'd get fucked in during process. |

It simply says that CCW must be treated as "Full faith and credit" just like a marriage license or a drivers license. |

If one state allows carry on school grounds when picking up a child, but another state does not, it is simply the responsibility of the gun owner to know the laws in the place they are travelling to and obey them accordingly. Some states have different speed limits for certain types of roads. Until recently, many states had different DUI thresholds. Some states have different laws about what can, cannot, or must be on your vehicle. It is the responsibility of the driver to follow each state's laws accordingly. Doesn't mean your driver's license isn't still valid. I agree that a soup of different laws would be inconvenient to navigate and that such laws should be concise and well-advertized, but I don't see why national reciprocity, in and of itself, would pose a problem. |

Quoted:

All it does is provide reciprocity, meaning each state issues permits according to its own rules. When you cross a state line to a state that allows CCW you must abide by that states rules when you CCW. That is it. Christ. |

Quick Question. Do states like Ca,IL,NJ,NY issue conceal permits?
If they do will that mean if they have a 10rnd mag limit and you visit the state will you have to have on 10rnd mags or no hollow points? I'd like to have National Carry but I think they should also be some sort of consistency. ETA:Ok I see the post above mine. Just will have to know the rules of the state before visiting. Pretty much what you have to do now. I could see states like CA doing away with concealed permits unless you're LEO and then granting "celebs" LEO status |

All states issue some don't they?
I know it is difficult to get them in like NYC or Chicago, but some people still have them correct? |

Would be nice... I would then get the wife off my back about going to New York state and go.

All others have some kind of laws in place to get them although it may be about impossible in some states/places. |

what about residents of states that dont have permits but do allow ccw.....ak, az, etc

I wonder if someone from California with a Utah non-resident permit would be able to carry in California under such a reciprocity law. I saw no distinction made between resident and non-resident permits nor any requirement that the permit holder be a resident of the state that issued the permit to ualify, but maybe I'm missing something.

As far as it being a state issue, Congress has the constitutional power to do this under the Full Faith and Credit Clause as well as the 14th amendment:
Full Faith and Credit shall be given in each State to the public Acts, Records, and judicial Proceedings of every other State. And the Congress may by general Laws prescribe the Manner in which such Acts, Records and Proceedings shall be proved, and the Effect thereof.
A well regulated Militia, being necessary to the security of a free State, the right of the people to keep and bear Arms, shall not be infringed.
1. .... No State shall make or enforce any law which shall abridge the privileges or immunities of citizens of the United States; nor shall any State deprive any person of life, liberty, or property, without due process of law; nor deny to any person within its jurisdiction the equal protection of the laws
.. 5. The Congress shall have power to enforce, by appropriate legislation, the provisions of this article. |

Though it makes sense, since it would otherwise be out of the authority of the FedGov to enforce. I'm still for it, mind you, but those of us behind enemy lines will still need to fight locally to change things. Hopefully, however, the federal bill will get things going at the state level. As for the bill's chances, it's going to be a tough one because you know Obama's not going to sign if it makes it to his desk. Then again, that would publicly out him as anti-gun and could possibly influence the 2012 election. ETA: That exception I just highlighted? That's states' rights. The fed isn't telling states what they can and cannot do. They are saying that for residents of other states, while they are engaged in travel and interstate commerce, their permit is valid under full faith, and in accordance with the regulations and restrictions of the state they're in. Example: Joe Schmoe is a Maryland resident. Maryland does not issue permits except to the exhalted classes. Mr. Schmoe is not politically powerful and cannot get a permit. Instead, he applies for, and is issued, a Virginia nonresident permit. Under current law, he may carry in Virginia (as well as PA, DE, NC, WV and many other surrounding states) but he cannot carry in his home state of Maryland OR in any state that does not recognize reciprocity with Virginia (e.g. New York or New Jersey). Under the proposed bill, Mr. Schmoe is still not permitted to carry in his home state - because federal law cannot regulate intrastate behavior. He may, however, carry in New York and New Jersey when he visits those jurisdictions because the federal law covers him as he engages in interstate commerce. The requirement of Mr. Schmoe to comply with all local laws regarding how and where he can carry remains unchanged. For clarification: This WILL NOT affect anyone in a may-issue state that is currently unable to obtain a permit while they are within their home state. |
