If passed, the National Right-to-Carry Reciprocity Act of 2011 would be a huge win for Second Amendment advocates, giving a gut punch to many state and municipal gun control efforts.
Originally introduced this past February by Rep. Cliff Stearns (R- FL) and Heath Shuler (D-NC), The Right-to-Carry Reciprocity Act now has 241 co-sponsors in the House, making its passage there likely.
A companion bill is soon to be launched in the Senate, and if it gets enough Democrat support to avoid a filibuster, it would probably pass there too.
The bill, H.R. 822, essentially says: If Florida awards you a concealed carry permit, every other state has to honor it, with narrow exceptions. This will greatly lessen may issue politics and bureaucratic obstructionism across the country when it comes to gun rights.

I’ve always thought that if you take a CCW class you should be able to carry in all states. (But what do I know):)
My state (AZ) has good 2nd amendment rights & you no longer have to take the course to carry concealed.
I do however think it very wise for anyone to take the course to learn the laws to protect themselves & everyone else.
Thank you for your service Marine! *Hugs*
