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 driver’s 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, Hudson’s bill allows the common man to defend himself and his family as he travels throughout this country.
On November 28 Breitbart News reported that Hudson’s legislation was scheduled for a markup in the House Judiciary Committee and the markup would serve as the last stop before a floor vote.If this becomes law, it would be another big, big win.
The liberals must be going spastic.
ReplyDeleteDumb question number 57....why does it take so long for a good idea to make it into a law? Why does a bull have to be sent through a million committees before it sees it's day in the true legislative bodies?
ReplyDeleteWere is it in the Constitution that says all these committees can foozle with a bill before it goes for a vote!?!?!??
Steve
bull=bill
ReplyDeleteA lot is due to the rules of the House and Senate, like the filibuster, that do not derive out of the Constitution. But most is by design. The founders didn't want it to be all that easy. They wanted due consideration and thought to be put into any proposed law, with ample opportunity for discussion and debate.
ReplyDeleteHeh, due consideration.....I just heard Nancy Pelosi state that she needs to read the tax bill before she can vote for it.....A complete 180 from her ramming obamacare down our throats.
DeleteWill Californians be able to take advantage of this?
ReplyDeleteJust kidding.
maybe - depends on how the bill is written. If they can get a non-resident permit in another state and that permit is recognized by the (future) law, then they should be able to carry in CA. That's one of the reasons the liberals are all a flutter about this. other than ...guns ...
DeleteDon't hold our breath. Too many RINOs infesting Congress. This bill probably won't get past the house. And it will die for sure in the Senate were the left has to only get a couple of RINOs to vote with them.
ReplyDeleteneedless to say, the act is a good idea. however, the individual states do not have uniform laws governing firearms usage. Precident: communications laws are uniformly Federal. radio licences are all Federal. why not gun laws??? both are in the Constitution (free speech and right to own guns).
ReplyDeletefor a document that is so completely unambiguous as the US Constitution it sure does get hammered out of its original shape over time./
