Time To Contact Your Senators About Concealed Carry Reciprocity

Proof • July 20, 2009

Just got this in from the NRA:

The U.S. Senate is now considering the National Defense Authorization Act (S. 1390). As a part of the consideration of that legislation, Senators John Thune (R-SD) and David Vitter (R-LA) will offer an amendment on Monday to provide for interstate recognition of Right-to-Carry permits. There is a very high likelihood of a Senate floor vote on this important and timely pro-gun reform on Monday or Tuesday.
While the right to possess firearms for self-defense within the home has long been respected under the law, for most of our nation’s history, state and local governments have prohibited ordinary citizens from possessing firearms for self-defense in many settings outside the home. Recently, however, most state legislatures have taken steps to reduce those restrictions. In the last twenty years, the number of states that respect the right to carry has risen from 10 to 40 — an all-time high.

Anything that makes it less complicated to keep and bear arms is a good thing, to my mind. Click here to email your senators in two easy steps.

If the state of Georgia (or North Dakota) is expected to honor the same-sex marriage laws of Massachusetts (US Constitution, Article IV, Section 2), then surely there is no reason for Massachusetts not to honor another state’s concealed carry permit law.

I’ve wondered why that isn’t the case as well. Maybe because that’s the part of the constitution some people like to pretend doesn’t exist.

Keeping track of reciprocity with my ND permit is a full time job. States honoring each others permits have actually fallen backward recently. Since ND got rid of the shooting test we’ve lost a few states.

Moszer,

I think it comes down to the selectivity with which liberals use certain rationalizations to try and make their point.

For years we have endured a tsunami of sermons from the Left about the enlightened socio-economic policies and cultural sophistication of the Europeans and the EU. But when the individual European countries themselves started to rediscover supply-side economics, tax rate cuts, and economic and employment growth over the past several years, all of a sudden all that leftwing crowing about Europe kinda disappeared.

If I go from home in PA to WV, no problem, to OH, gotta unload and lock it in the trunk, to MI, lock and load. It’s pretty crazy when you have to have a program to tell you when and where you can or can’t exercise your constitutional rights. Crazier still that there are places that choose to ignore the constitution, time to put an end to it.

Umm, sorry, I had not heard that the 2nd Amendment had been voided. When did that happen?
