Also making them pay for your defense if you assert your rights under this bill. It really looks good.

Let's assume the above is true and it somehow passes in the middle of the night.
Here will be the argument going forward-- New Jersey (and other states) will be screaming...
You're forcing us to allow Georgians without one minute of mandatory gun training to strut around in our state with "high-capacity" 17rd Glop magazines that have no purpose other than mass murder loaded with "cop-killer" bullets. Meanwhile... the residents of aggrevied states will have fewer freedoms than out-of-state visitors.
Now how long do you think these inequities and public safety horrors (as they would be characterized) would stand? Heck, there's lots of gun owners who already support mandatory training and have a dim view of "high-capacity" magazines as the tool of mall ninjas.
What will Reciprocity #2 read with "common sense" mandates to address these grievances? Feds love to fix things...
States like Georgia would of course be reluctant to adopt Reciprocity #2 in their permitting process such as mandatory training and whatever public safety "common sense" dreamed up. But how long would it be until threatened with federal funding or be ostracised via no individual state reciprocity agreements as they enjoy now with most all other states?
Is the above just a tin foil hat imagination run amok, or a realistic forward looking view?
Federal mandatoary reciprocity? No thanks.
