The liberals never wait for perfect. They accept incremental steps toward their agenda. That is why they have been winning while we are waiting for "perfect".
What about us 100% disabled Veterans who have a fuduicary,a care giver, [and in my case a keeper lol this is my wife of almost 20 years]. We are not allowed under a letter of agreement between the va ,doj & batfe. They are citing the Brady Handgun Control Act of 1993 for this. The va makes you read, then they read this to you, that you,your family,close freinds,neighbors are not allowed to have any firearms. Those of us who swore to the Constutition of the US, & who know what lethal force is better than most police officers. Are not allowed to go hunting,self defense,target shooting ect, because of the unlawful desires of those in office & their lawyer lackeys! There is no court to hear our grivences, no lawyer will take our cause up, just a bunch of cowardly disgraseful people in power!
I would like my PTC to be valid in every state too, but I think we are going backwards as far preserving the 2nd Amendment and States Rights.
Yeah. If they have the power to give . . .
It is indeed a step in the right direction. I am anxious for this as well as the ability to purchase handguns across state lines. I live less than a mile from the TN/MS border and it is silly that I can only purchase handguns on one side of the line and not the other.
I think you will find this article on a bill to restore veteran’s rights:

Would you please post the regulation that you refer to? Preventing neighbors from owning firearms? Sorry, but this sounds very fishy.
Thanks.
To me it seems a huge waste of effort. While the House is very likely to pass it the Senate may or may not and the Infester of the WH certainly wont. I very much doubt the veto will be overrode. There are other more pressing issues. It would have been far better to bring it up when there was a chance of it becoming law.
BS. They can "make you read" anything you let them. It doesn't mean it will carry the force of law.
If my neighbor came and told me I had to get rid of my guns because of his VA status, I'd tell him to pound sand and be well within my Rights to do so.
Yes, I believe so. Of course, it is possible for amendments to occur before it passes.
The democrats see defeat unless a right is federalized? I don’t buy this. It’s a state’s obligation to follow the 2nd amendment of the US Constitution.
Look what happened when the federal government created the “right” to abortion! What about the “right to life”?
Fickle Congress starts legislating “rights” instead of recognizing God-given freedoms and the US is ruined.
From here my assumptions are:
1) The Democrat senate will throw in a whole bunch of intolerable amendments, or try to insert them in conference committee, forcing the Republicans to vote down the corrupted bill. Or,
2) If the senate passes basically the same bill, then Obumble will veto it.
3) The Republicans will then use it as a stick to beat the Democrats with in the next election.
But the bottom line remains. I am deeply wary of congress trying to force reciprocity on the States. Mostly because next time the Democrats have sway, they will try and force reciprocity on things like homosexual marriage, licenses for illegal aliens, and who knows what other liberal crapola.
Second, because that further opens the door to federal judges interfering with reciprocity agreements.
Anecdotal agreement. Had a buddy who was pretty hot-headed. He got a CCW and when he carried, he was meek as a lamb. He never told his wife when he was carrying, and said she often remarked at "How he had matured" when a flare-up situation occurred and he didn't react.
[Sidebar] I don't tell my wife when I carry either. She's comfortable around guns and even mans my table at a gun show when I go walkabout. However I don't want to run the risk of her saying out loud, in a tight situation, "Honey, use your gun". I'd rather blindside the bad guy.
Insofar as unregulated CCW should be the norm, this walks us that way.
So you think you should be able to waltz into any state on election day and vote? The laws of the that state say you can't, but you can vote in your own state so they must allow you to vote? There are all kinds of laws that require residency in a state for a particular length of time before certain rights apply. Do you believe the federal government has the authority to throw out all of these requirements?
See comment# 19. At the very least, it helps to get rid of fair weather friends of the Second Amendment like Mark Pryor and Richard Lugar in the Senate.
