A Republican congressman is prepared to introduce national concealed carry legislation in the next Congress after Donald Trump is sworn in as president.
North Carolina Republican Rep. Richard Hudson introduced a similar bill in February 2015, H.R. 986.
Now known as the Concealed Carry Reciprocity Act of 2017, the bill, which The Daily Caller obtained exclusively, would allow a person with a concealed carry license from one state to carry a concealed handgun in any other state that permits its resident to concealed carry, as long as the person is not banned from possessing or transporting a firearm under federal law. The bill excludes carrying “a machine gun or destructive device,” and the person must follow “the restrictions of that state.”

If States can interpret the Second Amendment, why can’t they interpret the First and, say, Thirteenth Amendments?
“Shall not be infringed” is an absolute, subject only to due process for cause on an individual basis.
Actually, by a strict reading of the text, the states should be able to interpret the first amendment. Unlike the 2nd, 3rd, 4th, 5th, etc., it starts with the words “Congress shall make no law...”. The others make blanket statements, intended to limit both federal and state power. Only the first amendment names the single entity (federal government) it intends to limit.
They already have a list.
I dont see why we recognize marriages across state lines or drivers licenses but not ccw permits. 2a trumps state laws and license privileges.
That was passed in 1968. The NFA was 1934, and the FOPA was 1986.
This needs to get scrapped unless "permits its resident" means "if anybody, then everybody."
Oops! I've cited that Act a lot of times. I blame it on that dumb keyboard. :-)
Always glad to help.
