And they totally forgot the existing law about violent felons and anyone convicted of DV being automatically DQed already? Yeah that annoyed me too.Pawpaw wrote:More libtard drivel:

The latest example that makes me ask the question comes from the New York Times. In particular, columnist Gail Collins, who writes this bit:
With a beginning like that, you just know it’s going to be good. You know that you’re going to read a reasonable discourse on the topic of national reciprocity, right?Gail Collins wrote:The House Judiciary Committee just voted to make it impossible for a state to always keep people convicted of violent offenses from carrying concealed weapons.
My favorite is them going on about how there are many states like Wyoming and Arizona that will let anyone carry, which means that 16 year old felons can carry in all 50 states! Um... No. That's not how it works. True, anyone in those states who can legally possess a firearm can carry without a permit/license, but they won't be able to carry out of state without one. Not now. Not after the law passes. They'll have to get a permit in that state first. Funny thing is, they fail to mention the amount of reciprocity that most states have today. As a Texan, I can already carry in 36 other states in the nation. Funny thing is, WY and AZ resident permits are allowed in more states today... 37 for WY, 38 for AZ.
On a related note, does anyone know the specifics on licensing requirements by state so residents are allowed to carry in the other 49 + DC? Or is it any license, carry anywhere?
