Re: What 2A items do you want to see in 2017?

I didn't see any limitations to state laws, so I'll go big. :lol:

I'd love to see a Federal level reciprocal agreement requirement such that any state that has concealed (or open) carry would be required to recognize a licensee from any other state.

But even at that, we also need to get the Federal Gun Free School Zone Act fixed. Currently, a licensee cannot (legally) carry a concealed firearm within 1,000 feet of any school PROPERTY in another state, even if that state has a reciprocal agreement with Texas. Consider how many schools are in suburban areas, and also how many schools are near the main road through town in rural areas. Then add 1,000 feet from the edge of the property line (not the building itself). That covers a lot of area where holders of licensed firearms are technically prohibited. I understand that most people say the Gun Free School Zone law would probably never be enforced on a "normal" citizen, but personally I'd prefer to not have to be concerned about it at all!

Oh yeah, and fix the campus carry. I foresee the 100 square feet "Guns Allowed Zone" being right next to the 100 square feet "Free Speech Zone" down on the sidewalk by the back entrance that nobody uses. Well, maybe not quite, but you get the point. :banghead:
