"Federal carry law would be in addition to these laws. "
Rudy isn't talking about a federal carry law. He doesn't like ordinary citizens carrying concealed weapons. Carry permits went way down under him in NY city - only celebrities and the politically connected could get them.
What rudy wants is strict licensing on who can own and buy a gun. And do you think he'd want anything at a federal level less strict than the laws you currently have in new york?
And when the feds pass a standard, they DO NOT let other states go around and be less strict than the federal law!
Sheeesh.
Well, we kind of got off of the Rudy topic.
If the Congress passed a national carry law, those voting for it would be those who support concealed carry from states where it is now legal. They would take care that it would be in addition to the laws in their states.
Without their support, nothing will pass, and things will stay as they are.
