‘...“Constitutional Concealed Carry Reciprocity Act.” This legislation would ensure that if a citizen possesses a permit for the concealed carry of a firearm in one state, it must be recognized in any other state with concealed carry laws. ‘

Hope this one winds up law.

As to the article does anyone understand the practical effect of this ruling? It would be so nice to be able to buy HGs out of state w/o the need to go thru a home state FFL.

How silly of us... I guess it should have worded it a bit differently:

...”the right of the People to keep and bear arms shall not be limited through reduced consumer choice, higher costs, and unnecessary delays.....”

Free men don't ask permission.

Hope this one winds up law.

You do realize you are advocating for the destruction of the 2nd Amendment, right?

I don't see that the 2A says, "Shall not be infringed, as long as you have a permit". Shall not be infringed. Period. End of discussion. Settled law for well over 200 years. Let's start acting like we're Americans?

Soon, this will be the law regarding gay marriage - that it must be recognized in every state, so it is fitting that this should also apply to our Second Amendment Rights - which are spelled out in the Constitution. Gay rights are NOT.

Either you’re a provocateur or you really do take your own advice. If the later then logically you’d be willing to be the test case. Right? If so my hats sincerely off to you. Otherwise, you’re just a bag of wind. Which is it?

If the government can’t ban guns outright, it will ban the ammo that makes them more than a mere club. The ATF is trying to ban .223 “cop killer” rifle ammo because it fits a few pistols. Using that logic, nearly any ammo can be banned.

Why aren’t we hearing shots being fired on Concord Bridge?

.
It is similar to the same-sex marriage law that is being pushed for all states to accept.

This morning on CNN, Cuomo and Jeffery too in made it clear that they do not believe our freedom comes from God. Rather, they say we have “evolved” the laws passed by Congress give us our freedom. This is heresy.

Obviously, they are taking heat over the ‘Rights from God’ argument that is imbedded in American history. The Declaration of Independence makes it clear that “We are endowed by our Creator with certain, unalienable rights...”

That’s pretty hard to argue with, but they argue anyway. They say that society ‘evolves’ rights?

If so, then those ‘rights’ are not rights at all. They are ‘current policy positions’ to be changed on further developments.

The liberal mind is such a wasteland of serfdom. Almost makes you lament the etymological connection between liberty and liberal, because the Good Lord knows, they fully reject liberty.

The left doesn’t believe in our rights.

The left believes what constitutes "rights" is the consensus of the people through debate. God-loving people adhere to absolutes, those that radiate out from God down to Man, they cannot change regardless of law.

I don’t ask permission. As an American, I consider that offensive. I’m also a law abiding citizen - I carry openly. I WILL NOT ask permission to carry, or purchase, a firearm.

They are losing in the courts so they are taking another Marxist path. By they I mean BO and Holder. They are activley conducting “Operation checkpoint”.
The Attorney General of the United States of America is calling certain business’ and threatening them with legal action if they do business with these certain types of business’, you know business’ that BO and Holder don’t like. Gun stores are on the list, imagine your local banker who you have done business with for 10-20 years, they send you a letter and say, thanks for the last 20, but we no longer want your business, we have closed your accounts!
