So if this proposed bill goes into effect, what impact is it going to have on state weapons laws? Will it be anything like vehicle laws, where states have to accept other state's requirements? e.g. if you live in the fine state of Pennsylvania where standard capacity magazines are legal and you travel to say Maryland or New York where they are not legal, are you going to get into a bind with the law?

Dream on.

usually the fed will give states the option of A) follow our law or B) lose $$ for something critical, like when they did the national speed limit.

Can you provide a link to this information.  I hadn't heard about nationwide CCW.

I want my reasonable and prudent back

You have to admit though this would have a struggle to pass the Senate.

Um, doesn't that bill say 2005?

As a native New Yorker (now in FL) I would just absolutely love to stick it to the idiot gungrabbers

My House rep is a co-sponsor, you better believe I wrote to her about this. She's got my vote now.

Cool stuff.

Can't they just sneak it into a military spending bill?

If it was that easy those Omnibus spending bills would be BAD things!

  One session of congress last for two years. Any bills not acted on during that two year session then
 die and have to be resubmitted.
