Are you saying that one must have a home state permit to carry in your home state? Right now a lot of people rely on non-resident permits in their home states. Would this law change that? For instance must a NT resident have a NY permit to carry in NY? How will this affect carry in the city of NY or DC?Quote:
May only carry in one's home state with a home state permit.
Exactly.Quote:

Things will not change for residents of NY, NJ, CA, DC right away. Hopefully once non-residents are carrying within their precious boundaries those Govts would be forced to change their ways.
When I first read the bill I had the same impression as you have but then I started to look closer and started getting confused:
I snipped a little to make it easier reading. I am not arguing with you at all but it looks like some could deduce that it only applies to guns that have been involved in interstate commerce rather than the permit being a resident permit. Wording like this is what screws up so many people with laws. You can't really tell what the law means.Quote:

Better the devil we know than one we do not.

Tried reading thru all of this and now my head is spinning. It it would include doing away with non res permits then I'd be screwed. I can't get a NC permit cause I am not a citizen. NC wants that. I am only a perfectly legal resident alien (now, don't think of the movie "ALIEN" in this context, I do not have acid for blood and I can not make my mouth snap out of my face).
I dropped NRA long ago. They pull crap like everyone else and I got sick of it. They sent me a bill, said they were going to collect and I did'nt owe them anything because I wasn't a member. As for the Feds. They have been 6 years denying my VA Disability App. Last denial was because I sent 7 pieces of paper, stapled together and did'nt sign one. Between them and PTL (Pass The Loot) churches I think we might be getting ripped
Not sure, however I live in Oregon and occasionally go to Calif. It would be nice to be able to carry concealed in that state. Would not be able to legally carry any other way.
It doesn't do away with NR permits. A state could decide that they will no longer issue NR permits...but I can't see them giving up that revenue source.Quote:

As for those who say "The Constitution is My Permit", I wish you well in convincing a judge of that.Quote:
