This is good.

Getting it through a Democratic Congress is akin to pigs flying. We'll see if a federal RTC bill is passed.

[marlon]

Shoulda introduced this bill back when the pubbies, ostensibly, controlled the house and senate. The chances of this ever seeing the light of day to even be voted on now that the socialists are in charge are slim and none.

[burzum]

Why now? Why not 2 or 4 years ago when it could have passed?

[The Blitherer]

Silly me, I always thought the right to carry was already covered under the Constitution.

[starbase]

I love it. I'm planning on buying a handgun and getting a concealed carry permit sometime soon. And also joining the NRA.

Actually, I joined once a few years ago, but the guy who took my membership order on the phone was this squeaky voiced youngster. My membership never arrived, and I forgot about it. I bet that punky kid was a little leftist sent to spike memberships off the phone boards.

Well anyway, this national right to carry would be perfect once I get my handgun. I must research that though, as I don't know what's best for personal protection. Any knowledgeable suggestions?

[trimom]

Well, this is something a girl could really get to like! PA and FL currently have reciprocity. And Alaska doesn't have any permit restrictions at all. But you are going to have to go a long, long way to get Massachusetts on board. You cannot even transit the state with a handgun, if I heard Mr. Tri correctly.

Excellent news

Only problem is at the moment, I have no use for a firearm =\

[Nathan _in_Arkansas]

This needs to pass. Most other state licenses are recognized by other states, so why not Concealed Carry Permits?

[The Blitherer]

Only problem is at the moment, I have no use for a firearm =\

You should move to Los Angeles. We always have use for them here.

The chances of this ever seeing the light of day to even be voted on now that the socialists are in charge are slim and none.

On the other hand, the chances of this being brought up by the 'pubbies as evidence that they're really, really pro-RKBA are excellent.

[wastedyears]

Everybody says you should get what is comfortable for you to hold and shoot. Me being a small guy, I'd have a hard time handling a 92F or USP .45.

As of now I'm interested in the USP .40 Compact.

[John Jorsett]

If this passes, this Californian will establish his "official" residence in Texas.

[TheKidster]

Now THIS is the kind of laws our congresscritters should be working on, it actually helps the citizenry in every single state and reaffirms our God given and constitutionally protected liberties.

[starbase]

Thanks, use what's comfortable, good and practical benchmark.

[roaddog727]

Wowzers!

Bumperoo!

[Al Gator]

Ok, its Gator time.

I don't like this one little bit.

I see a real bad moon rising here. Bad, bad, bad joss.

We are on the verge of the fedgov nationalizing our driver's licenses. If they get this, next will be a NATIONAL PERMIT no longer controlled by your state, but the fedgov itself. Until another Janet Reno gets into the AG office and REVOKES EVERYONES RIGHT TO CARRY!

Think twice about this my friends. As it is, its up to each state to deal with one another. And that can be good.

With this, I smell sulfur under the door!!


Now, call me paranoid and flame on!

[theDentist]

This is good.

Not really. A National Bill means every state will need to conform with regulations put together by Federal Authorities. The Feds will have to take into account the freedoms of those states who already have CCW laws, and those who don't want any such CCW allowed, and they'll favor the latter. And this will alsocase state and local authorities to tighten up things... (IMO).

In short, I don't trust them 1 damn bit.

[I got the rope]

Senator Thune...how about the 2nd Amendment...jeesh.
