National reciprocity for concealed carry passed the House Judiciary Committee on Wednesday is expected to receive a floor vote before the end of the year.
The Concealed Carry Reciprocity Act of 2017 was introduced by Rep. Richard Hudson (R-NC) on January 3, 2017. It changes federal law that so concealed carry permits are treated like drivers licenses, making a permit from one state valid in the other 49. This would fix the complicated and often confusing patchwork of concealed carry laws currently in effect throughout the country.
To put it simply, Hudsons bill allows the common man to defend himself and his family as he travels throughout this country.
On November 28 Breitbart News reported that Hudsons legislation was scheduled for a markup in the House Judiciary Committee and the markup would serve as the last stop before a floor vote.

So we are reduced to what we are "allowed" by our betters?
I’m in CA and in a county that issues lots of permits. I also understand NYC is like a state unto itself.
Voted no on what? National reciprocity? They are going to vote no on the tax bill? I dont understand what you posted. Can you post more info?
The Democrats must be preparing another engineered mass murder shooting spree. They and their RINO allies cannot allow this kind of freedom to prevail.
Agreed. It's a shell game, and FedGov is not on our side. They might pass this in the House but not the Senate to get our hopes up. They might pass something else in the Senate and not the House for the same reason. As for legislation that helps real Americans? That seems unlikely until we successfully primary a lot more RINOs. They need to fear us more than the drool over their big donors, and we're not there yet.
It was a prophetic joke :)
It is the law: No State shall make or enforce any law which shall abridge the privileges or immunities of citizens of the United States.... clause 2, XIVth amendment, US Constitution.
As it is now, the 14th amendment is enforced as giving children of foreigners who can waddle across our border and give birth, birthright citizenship.
But it doesn’t protect the 2nd amendment rights of real citizens once we cross state lines into a slave state.
How screwed is that?
They’ll screw it up and create some new federal training requirement your state must meet to do this. And it’ll come with a christmas tree list of places you cannot carry.
Just watch.
I can’t wait to see them forced to allow this.
They will go ballistic.
I will take what I can get on this. If NJ outlaws HP bullets, I can work around that -- and lobby for a revision next year.
Of course I would prefer ammo of my choice, but if I have to choose solids or my bare hands, you know which one I will take. If we are one vote short in the senate and that is the compromise, so be it.
March 12, 2012 Manchin Introduces Concealed Carry Reciprocity Law to Support Second Amendment Rights
This evening, Joe Donnelly continued his longtime support for Hoosiers with licenses to carry to have those licenses recognized in every state in the union. While in the House, Donnelly co-sponsored legislation that would have made state-issued concealed firearm carrying permits or licenses valid across state lines as long as they followed that state's laws on where concealed weapons can be carried
In 2013, 13 Democrats voted for a national reciprocity measure put forth by Sen. Cornyn. Seven of those senators Joe Donnelly of Indiana, Heidi Heitkamp of North Dakota, Jon Tester of Montana, Martin Heinrich of New Mexico, Tom Udall of New Mexico, Joe Manchin of West Virginia, and Mark Warner of Virginia are still in the upper chamber. Five of those members are preparing up for their reelection in 2018

Game. On.
Good points about the 14th amendment.
You might want to apply for an out-of-state permit from someplace like Florida, just to have a permit to show.
A headache, but there may be officers who will just assume you have no permit, and not be up on your state’s laws. In that case, I would imagine, especially in a leftist place where nobody carries and the Mayor wants it eliminated, like NYC, their response would be instant arrest, and let the judge sort it out.
Damn straight.
According to my buddy who is a retired LEO with a nationwide permit, Yes. So if he went to NY and carried he would be limited to 7 rounds in a magazine (which he recommends the S&W Shield.)
