As someone who travels quite a bit and confined most of it to the US, I'd love to see national concealed carry. For a minute of two. You're both correct, it's a state issue, and there are states I avoid. Not just for concealed carry, but transport. DC and Maryland come to mind. They won't get my tourist dollars, but I don't want the Federal government regulating this.

For those who say state regulation of carry is a 2nd Amendment violation, I'd suggest that is the issue. When you advocate Federal regulation of concealed carry, you've conceded that argument to the Feds, and open the door to Federal regulation of the issuance of concealed carry permits. Or at least permits to be recognized. Bad idea, other than those who consider 280 hours of instruction, perhaps, reasonable.
