what could we expect if this concealed-weapons bill, introduced by Sen. Allen, is approved by the Senate?If (big if) the senate approved this, the house certainly would. I suspect and hope the president would sign it. All but a few states allow some form of concealed carry and issue permits. All states however, do not have reciprocity with each other. This bill would solve that. CA for example issues CCW's on a "may issue" basis and does not recognize any other state's permits. If this passed, I could go to any state in the nation that issues ccw's and be legal to carry.

Is this the Senate version of HR 1243 the S.A.F.E (Secure Access to Firearms Enhancement) act introduced last by Rep. John Hostettler of Indiana? I've been hoping for something like this for a long time.

We could expect the liberal media to have a predictable hissy fit.
Phrases such as, "blood in the streets", "Dodge City", road rage incidents "escalating into violence" (as if they don't already), and so on, would be trotted out.
We could also expect the crime rate to go down if it is signed into law.

A lot of states already are recognizing reciprocal carry laws.
The Second and Tenth Amendments really preclude the need for additional gun laws, methinks.
Schumer, Boxer, Feinstein and McCain and a bunch of others seem to disagree.

They should just be like drivers licenses. if you have one in one state it is good in another.IMHO

I would expect it to be repealed by the next left wing Senate. A privilege granted by one tyrant lasts only until the next tyrant. We have only the Rights that we defend. The uninfringed Second Amendment is a fine litmus test for me. And the several sovereign states' rights are a fine teergruben for national tyranny from DC.

Beautiful. I put its chance of passage around 1%, but it's still excellent.

Hmm... how about a bill combining interstate recognition of gay marriages and CCW? Basically the same issue and my word, there'd be heads exploding all over! ;^)

But Virginians Against Handgun Violence Executive Director Jim Sollo criticized the bill.I don't know why it even needs to be mentioned that the spineless twits don't like the idea of citizens carrying weapons. They seem to relish in the idea that the government should have a monopoly on guns.

This is a very interesting issue between protecting people's 2nd Amendment rights on the one hand and protecting the 10th Amendment on the other.
Sometimes, I wonder if members of Congress have a copy of the 10th Amendment.

This would be hilarious in the Philly area, where any (non-criminal) Pennsylvanian easily obtains a CC permit but the Peoples Republic of New Jersey will throw you in jail for so much as even thinking the word "handgun".

I don't know if we should carry in SF. No telling what we would do.

Every time a firearms related law heads into the Senate, I have concern that the weak leadership will permit "amendments". The kind of "amendments" that become bans. Larry Craig first offered a bill to protect the firearms manufacturers from frivolous lawsuits. A rapid fire series of "amendments" was put forth by anti-gun Senators that would have had the effect of reviving the "assault weapon ban", outlawing any centerfire rifle that could penetrate the soft body armor worn by law enforcement, force "safe storage" requirements on every gun owner and other onerous "amendments". Craig's bill was so smeared with anti-gun amendments that he was compelled to withdraw it.
