I read that to mean that if you are a legal resident of say NY, IL, CA, MA, or NJ - and you have non-resident concealed carry license from UT or FL that allows you to carry in 38+ other states - you are still screwed.
You are a RESIDENT of a gun hating state, and therefore they will not recognize your 2nd amendment rights.
That's my read. If someone can correct me otherwise, I would be happy to be wrong.
You are probably right, *BUT*- parsing the language:
(1) has a statute under which residents of the State may apply for a license or permit to carry a concealed firearm;
-— California does; it’s hard to get without being connected, but it *IS* possible
or
‘‘(2) does not prohibit the carrying of concealed firearms by residents of the
State for lawful purposes.”
So California *DOES* have a statue, and the wording uses *A* state:
and who is carrying a valid license or permit which is issued pursuant to the law of *a* State and which permits the person to carry a concealed firearm...
I mean you are probably right, but the wording says that IF your state and any statue that permits carrying AND you have a valid license from “a State and which permits the person to carry a concealed firearm “..
I am hoping that the NRA hired lawyers smart enough to word it precisely in this way, to throw a lifeline to us ‘behind enemy lines.
