Concealed Carry Reciprocity In The Senate

I'll give it a try. Hi Bohemian,
I am glad you are tracking and posting 2nd Amendment HR's, bills and upcoming votes to the very group it affects the most. Hope it came thru Cap-Wiz ©, the e-mailers that let us know what is going down long B 4 it even goes onto the floors or the Senate or Congress on so many issues, and those pre-formatted replies take the work out of long rants.
I am all for one nation, 1 gun law, then make CCW a (controlled) federal not state standard, unless DC is your home, the day they allow open or CCW in that den of paranoid sheeple will be the day ObL gets an invite to lecture us on human rights at the U.N! But to arm a Marion ex-felon with a weapons/robbery rap sheet a mile long is not wise now he walks free, so some vetting would have to happen 1st. Do the millions of drunks who fill our bars every night/weekend or sit home sucking up cases of beer and maybe popping pills have the clarity of mind to fire as a very last resort or because some one spilled their beer, cut 'em off in traffic or their neighbor's cat crapped on their lawn AGAIN?
Going to tell a quick true story. I was stationed in AZ, and lots of little old folks were getting their pensions jacked and beat the f-up too by young local hoods. So a law was passed making CC carry a lot easier to get and the gun stores emptied within a week of pistols. The effects were the most radical drop in violent crimes I ever saw. Young gangs of prowling gang-bangers would see an old lady coming and walk away, the few that tied to grab her cash found themselves shot dead, word spread fast and some of the roughest parts of that state like Nogales became very safe hoods. Not sure if that's still the law, but if every BG figured that their next prey were potentially as dangerous to them as they were to their next victim, then that might be progress. I can just hear the screams of the anti-gun anything crusaders blocking that into one big legal quagmire. But let's say in the near future terror revisits us not with a 9/11 event, but with ongoing and regular country-wide acts of anti-American fanatical religious motivtated fervor, the desire to inflict Jihadist horror with no desire for personal profit, bombings, shootings and a situation the cops could no longer control fueled not by petty crime but by say a mere 100K a-Q sleepers who suddenly got their orders from NYC to San Francisco & acted on those orders. Far fetched? Not really, count our 5 million Muslim (and growing) population many with kin back in U-name-it-Stan and figure out how many really support GWB and his wars, and how many would go Jihad on us with terror tricks that work off cheap cell-phones and garden fertilizer! **** 50% of the WASPs do not like Iraq but just grumble about it R not folks I worry about! The NG ain't trained or enough of them left (state-side) to stick even a squad in every town, then like many other war-torn nations who take death as a daily/weekly status-quo then just maybe someone would see the sense in arming most law abiing members of the public who have cleared an NIC check to counter that threat, and then train them for maybe a week or 2 with pay, then issue them an M9 or M16 as a public service not a requirement to go pay their cash in a gun store. Now it takes shape.
I'll follow the link, sign it but this side of a new president who if it turns into an Obama-nation then we can all kiss the 2nd goodbye and only cops or criminals will have shooters, me and you will be criminals too if we don't turn our guns in to some federal building when that law passes about a year after Obamnization. If you have counter points please try to make them worth a read or send the flames to me by private e-mail, thanks.
Good luck from me 2 U...
