It's true. Whenever a cop wanted to make a trip through other states and wanted to be armed he had to bone up on the laws of every state he passed through in order to do that legally (I hear the smart-alecks laughing out there...the few cops I know bother to respect the laws). This was especially troublesome when flying thanks to the airline industries notorious mishandling of luggage transport. Imagine how frustrating it is for a LEO to fly all across the country for a work-related course or seminar involving firearms only to learn upon arriving that his guns took a separate trip.

Now, if I read this right, we just got ourselves a whole legion of happenstance air marshalls free of charge.

This also paves the way for multi-state recognition of civilian ccw's. I know, all that muck is against the 2nd Amendment, but I'll take any gains back toward its recognition as a small victory. The mugger waiting to meet you on your next vacation isn't going to argue the fine points of Supreme Court tyranny.

I'm a retirement eligible (50 yrs old) federal agent that is really happy this bill was passed. I'm stationed in Guam right now, but my home is VA. I was dreading my retirement, because then if I wanted to travel out of VA (where I know I could qualify for a concealed permit), I'd have to go gunless, no trips to DC or MD. Semper Fidelis. P.S. I'm a member of the NRA and feel that only convicted criminals should not be allowed to own guns, concealed or otherwise. I'm not a hunter, but have a "870" for home defense (first 2 rounds out are birdshot, the second two are OO Buck and the last two are rifled slugs).

Oh, you mean like the rest of the regular citizens of this once free nation? Am I supposed to be happy that they've passed yet another law to make them "more equal" than those paying their salaries?
