I've been retired since 2001, a former HR-218 activist and have qualified annually since 2005 when our state (Oregon) legislature adopted the HR 218 language and set standards through our state certification board. I take great pleasure in carrying in California frequently.

In places such as NJ, NYC, etc., it's going to take someone getting arrested and taking their case to court in order to change their policies. So far as I know, there have been 3 state court rulings upholding HR 218, one in S. Dakota and two, oddly enough in New York State.

New York City and New Jersey are quite simply anti gun, and buy into everything put out by the Brady Bunch.
