I like the bill put forward by Senator Coburn last term. If you could legally carry concealed in your state of residence, you could legally carry anywhere in the United States.

I would also love to see a national Castle Law that gives citizens (not illegal aliens) the right to use deadly force to defend themselves in their home and any place they have a legal right to be without having a duty to retreat and that would protect them from civil litigation arising from defending themselves.

The people aren't buying their junk.

Except in NY, MA, NJ, MD, CA and IL where anti-gun rights politicians keep getting relected - in some cases (Carolyn McCarthy D. NY) solely on their extreme anti-gun stance. To me this says that the majority of voters in those states is of a like mind in regarding our right to keep and bear arms as something that they'd like to get rid of.

In an ideal world, there would be no "states' rights" when it came to firearms just as there are no "states' rights" when it comes to freedom of speech, press or religion. Any law-abiding citizen should be free to purchase and carry the firearm of his choice, in any manner of his choosing, be it concealed or open, in any US State or territory under US jurisdiction, without any harassment by any level of government.

It sickens me that we as US citizens have to have to seek government permission to engage in any of our God-given rights.

Why should the federal government get involved in this at all? Most states have reciprocity with other CCW states. If you get the feds involved now, in five years, an amendment to the Agriculture Appropriations Act will contain conditions on reciprocity and the next thing you know, the feds will be dictating the content of state CCW laws.

I am opposed to the feds sticking their noses in regarding CCW. Once they do, the next step will be to have "uniform" federal regs on requirements to get a CCW. No thanks.

We're much better off just continuing with the trend and pushing our locals state legislatures to expand reciprocation coverage with the other states.

We’ll need another election.
