Bill Forces States to Accept Concealed Gun Permits

[Cooter]

Me too, but as a fan of State's rights, I'm a little "concerned" (not my choice word, but the only thing I could think of for the time being). At the same time, it's a Federal mandate for all states to at least start re-recognizing the 2A as an individual right, guranteed at the federal level.

That was the first thought that came to mind.
I am all for states rights, but the 2A is not a state right, it is a GOD GIVEN right. It is in our countries constitution, and therefore, should not be infringed by states at all. It is wrong for states to say we can't CC. So this bill would rectify past infringment.
I am all for it. :duim: Statistics show CC is a crime deterent, the anti's cannot deny that.

The State's Rights angle bothered me a bit at first as well, but the more I thought about it, this is a little different than a normal law - it's the Bill of Rights and the Constitution. Would we allow, say, Wisconsin to suddenly no longer recognize Freedom of Speech or Freedom of Religion?

I'd actually like to see this passed as it would put tremendous pressure on states where you cannot get a carry permit or where it is virtually impossible to do so.

I'd like to find the bill # so that I can figure out which house members are supporting it. If my representatives aren't on the list, they'll be hearing from me soon.

The bill is HR 5782. Here's a little more info on it.

I'll believe it when I see it.

Thanks for the bill number. It looks like another similar bill has now been introduced by a politician from Utah.
