| First off if this bill does pass does would an out of state CCW license carried by a MD resident be valid in MD, or would you have to get the license originally from your state of residence? If any out of state license would be valid do you think MD will change their license restrictions? |

Current language requires you to have a license from the home state  So non residents can carry in MD but residents can't? thats crap That's kinda the point, though. (It being absurd to restrict law-abiding residents from exercising Constitutional rights, I mean.) The writing is on the wall. It's only a matter of time before it happens. The vehicle for it, though, is anyone's guess. SCOTUS, federal law, state law, some other loophole? ... |

The way I read it fron the quote below is that any state that doesn't currently allow CCDW of their own residents is exempt and doesn't have to allow non residents to carry.
"The handgun bill, known as the National Right-to-Carry Reciprocity Act, would require states that allow their own residents to carry concealed handguns in public to extend the right to out-of-state visitors as long as the nonresidents carry with them the permit issued in another state. States that do not allow residents to carry concealed weapons would be exempt." |

So why even worry about this bill? I have a Fla CCW and MD won't recognize it. |

So why even worry about this bill? I have a Fla CCW and MD won't recognize it. Maybe SAF and the Woodward (IRC) suit about "apprehended danger" will bring down the MSP may-issue nonsense. Hey, SAF is on a roll. I don't know what else to say, MD rarely issues and if so, with some tight restriction I am told. It will take a serious wrecking ball of SAF, S.Ct and some lawsuits to break it loose. On a brighter note, just 5 years ago, this progress was probably though of as a pipe dream. Small steps men, small steps. |

It will all depend on the final wording of the bill that passes. Bad news = I am pretty confident it will not pass. |
