copied...from various places in the news today
Opponents prevailed in their argument that the measure violated states rights by forcing states with stringent requirements for permits to recognize concealed weapons carriers from states that give out permits to almost any gun owner.
In many states, young kids may hunt alone
"This is no minor shift in policy," said Sen. Dianne Feinstein, D-Calif., whose state requires people to be fingerprinted, get gun training and to undergo a federal background check before issuing permits. "It in fact would be a sweeping change and I think with some deadly consequences."
Washington is far from alone in allowing children to hunt with firearms on public lands without adult supervision, an msnbc.com review of state hunting regulations found:
* Seven states — Alabama, Arkansas, Indiana, New Mexico, Oklahoma, Vermont and Washington — set no minimum age for solo hunting.
* In Texas, kids can hunt alone when they are 9.
* In Alaska, Louisiana and Tennessee, the minimum age for unsupervised hunting is 10, in Missouri it's 11, and in nine other states it's 12.
That's a total of 21 states in which kids can hunt alone at age 12 or younger. And in 19 of them, young hunters afield by themselves may pursue any game — big or small — that is in season. Laws on hunter education and licensing vary from state to state. And federal laws prohibit anyone under the age of 18 from buying a rifle or shotgun. No one under 21 may buy a handgun.
As for me, I find it almost ok or alright if it came out this way. It is better to not have the sixty negative votes, and better without the 1000 page junk that most likely would have come along with it. I am proud of my fellow Georgians' votes, but we have background checks before issuing.
Are there really states that pass out concealed carry permits without them? Who, may I ask?

So does this vote means that I can no longer carry my gun in other states even if that state that I travel to say that I can bring my CCW?

This failure of this bill to pass does not invalidate or negate pre-existing CCW state reciprocities.
It only would have allowed carry into states that allow concealed carry but do not already have a reciprocity agreement with the state that issued your concealed carry permit.

Funny how they only use states rights against us...
