1. I think the bill should also state that people have the right to own firearms for hunting, for sport shooting, for collecting, of just because they feel like it.
2. I have a problem with the "reasonably perceived" and "imminent" parts of the statement "in defense of self or family against a reasonably perceived threat of imminent and unlawful infliction of serious bodily injury." I fear that gun-grabbers would use these words to try to restrict us based on their claim that it is "unreasonable" for me to believe that I might be faced with having to defend myself or that if such a threat exists, it isn't imminent. Of course, this problem would go away if the bill also stated that I could own a firearm (or several firearms) just because I felt like it.
Overall, I still like the idea. I like the idea of putting them on record for or against the purpose of the Second Amendment. Of course, I'd like it better if the guy would just pick a couple of hundred needless firearms laws and repeal them, but I'll take what we can get.

Yeah. Sitting here in the Peoples' Republic of California, I'd also like to see a universal right to CCW.
Impossible to obtain a CCW in Los Angeles unless one is a jewelry salesman, carries large amounts of cash, has been threatened, or is a celebrity or big-deal politician.
