New York does issue licenses. In fact all 50 States now issue licenses. Some, like NY, are "may issue". But as I read it, NY and every other State would be required to honor my TX CHL if this Bill passes. I would be subject to local laws regarding place and manner, but not any more stringent than as applied to a NY-issued licensee.

You're talking about just concealed carry, right? Open-carry presents some differences between states. For example, if I travel to Oklahoma with my Texas CHL, their open-carry laws don't apply to me. I have to remain concealed because that's what my Texas license says.

If Cruz had filed it, which he didn't, you would be singing his praises.

Chas.

I like the Bill, and I like the "new" John Cornyn.

I used to peg him as a nearly empty shirt - part of the "go along to get along" Washington establishment, but I honestly think the Dewhurst defeat resonated with Cornyn and woke him up. He changed his tone, visibility, and approach immediately. He's found a voice and had significantly more presence since that happened.

I don't need him to be bombastic or theatrical to convince me he's sincere. Texans sent a message with the Cruz election and Cornyn received it. Pretty simple the way I read it.
