Concealed Carry Reciprocity Act

[Oldsalt66]

if it is put into a law, it can be taken away... adjudicate it with the same legal means as marriage licenses and drivers licenses.. period... we don't lose Rights by crossing state lines

No thanks.

Carrying a firearm is a Constitutionally enumerated right and not a privilege.

Rights don't require licenses, and voluntarilly delegating our rights to government by relegating them to being "privileges" plays right into the hands of the gun grabbers.

Reaches his desk...laughable indeed

We all know how government works.....the Anti's in Congress will submit any bill of this nature to committee and never be seen or heard of again.......The only way this could happen would be with Executive Order.

Won't 'them' and 'they' know who is armed (cue ominous music)?

 

[johngalt]

I’m leery of all the strings that will inevitably come attached.

 

[smoothshooter]

This would be a great moment for free Americans.

Pure fantasy land.

 

[stansdds]

Sadly, I think than national CCW permit reciprocity is a pipe dream.

 

[ladder13]

Too many fish to fry and no mention by the Boss of any urgency.

 

[Cartwright Jones]

Based on Bruen, permit "schemes" are unconstitutional, which of course it obvious when reading the plain language of the Constitution. Americans should ALL be going ARMED, at all times, in ALL places! to believe otherwise is to believe each individual is some kind of "fiend" who can't be trusted - that means YOU, ME, and everyone else, when in fact, criminal actions are committed by the "you" and the "me" they're committed by dedicated thugs who have no respect nor concern for the 2A or any gun laws.

I'm sure he'll sign it, if it reaches his desk, right after he takes the 24 hours to end the Russian/Ukraine war, and eats a couple of Big Macs.

I don't believe he'll do anything. Even his executive order the other day for the 2A doesn't do anything other than tell the AG to review things that happened during Biden's administration. That's it. Go look at it, AG, thanks. But only the last 4 years, no need to go crazy, right?

If he were serious about any of this, it would've happened 1st term or be an exec order now. My gut tells me that like most men who believe they are aristocracy, he's not too keen on the common man being armed.

Meanwhile, In the Peoples Republic of Denver, the legislature works to ban ALL magazine fed firearms from sale.
This is the FIRST step to a complete ban on all firearms in Colorado.

Meanwhile, the illegal gangs continue to run rampant in Colorado.

It didn’t happen in the first term because of Congress. “Aristocracy” ? C’mon man ?!?!?!

I wonder how something like this will play with the rules in places like Florida, where there is permitless concealed carry. Would any Florida resident visiting another state be able to carry concealed because he/she can when at home in Florida? Hmmm...

 

[Bald1]

I think that’s why so many permitless states issue permits.

 

[SnidelyWhiplash]

Here in AZ there is permitless carry...both open and concealed. Many...including myself...carry an AZ permit as it does two important things...reciprocity with the majority of states and when purchasing a firearm with AZ you don't have to wait for a NICS check...strictly cash and carry.

The President does not have the authority to create nationwide reciprocity through an executive order. It is a state issue. Even if the Congress were to pass a law calling for nationwide reciprocity the Supreme Court would probably overturn it as being an unconstitutional infringement on state authority.

I don't like it, but that's how it is.

About the only way Congress could force it on the states is to make it that any states that does not accept reciprocity loses all federal monies for any of various things subsidized by the feds. As lousy a way as that is it's been used numerous times to coerce the states into complying.

 

[tomahawk223]

Why couldn't they just add / amend some verbiage to the LEOSA law that incorporates all qualified citizens rather than just LEO.
since it is contradictory to the 14th amendment as it currently stands it should be easy to bring into compliance.

I believe that is how the Feds put the arm on Montana to post speed limits on their freeways.

 

[geeollie]

Or they can use the Interstate Commerce Act as they did with HR218/LEOSA. If a firearm passes through interstate commerce congress can pass laws concerning it's usage.

Yup, here. We could care less what you can or can't do at home, everyone here can carry concealed or open. We never had a permit requirement. Which means if this reciprocity thing ever came to be, I would have to pick a state and get a non resident permit...I would pick NH. You could also carry in NH and ME, don't know about any other states.
