I have mixed feelings about National Conceal Carry. I am not sure how it would work. Shouldn’t it remain with the states? 2nd Amendment Foundation has been making great strides in this area.
You know what happens when the Fedgov gets its nose under the tent.
For the other program, I am more interested in hearing what cuts he will make, not new programs.
Donald, don’t be a bernie.
The Fedguv has no nose under the reciprocity tent except to ensure that states treat the right to keep and bear arms is treated like the privilege to drive a car.
Numerous people who have permits have been charged with felonies when they are in a neighboring state with zero tolerance laws, like New York and New Jersey. This just equalizes everything so you don’t wind up inadvertently doing hard time for an otherwise legal firearm.
And when 50 states get their nose under that tent?
Here’s why I asked that.
We have 50 states in various stages of trying to infringe on our 2nd Amendment rights. Some are doing nothing and others are coming up with more legislation all the time.
The activist anti-Second Amendment states do their darnedest to come up with something that will slip past the appellate courts and the SCOTUS. When a state gets one through, it hurts every state,
It opens the door to a new law that has been approved by the SCOTUS.
Eliminating the state impact on this would narrow the efforts down to one voice, the federal government.
In theory that should eliminate the tag-team effort we have today, with multiple states doing their best to deny us our rights. Eliminate their ability to impede the 2nd Amendment.
All anti-gun cases should have to go through the federal courts.
That will eliminate a lot fo nonsense.
State Legislatures, sorry, no jurisdiction...
We need a federal law because our freedom to RKBA should be uniform no matter where we live.
You don’t want states to have different rules for freedom of speech do you?
We have too many confusing, complicated and overly restrictive gun laws on the books in this country.
A federal concealed carry law would make order out of this mess and ensure that your right is the same no matter where you live or travel to in the country.
It would work just like your driver license. That is exactly what DT uses as an example. If I am licensed in my home state I can drive in every state. "Full faith and credit..." is in the Constitution. If I am licensed to carry in my home state, I could carry in every state.
If a particular state wants to limit the ability of their own residents to carry, that might be their right. But, they should not be able to disarm me if I am visiting.
Given what the Obamanation has done, I think Trump could accomplish reciprocity almost by executive order. He could certainly order the Justice Department to defend anyone charged in a state other than his home state, and might even be able to bring civil rights charges against whatever authority harassed people carrying with an out of state permit.
