The way he threw Ted Cruz under the bus is something I won't soon forget, and I for one at least am ill thinking of what the Boehner/McConnel/McCain/Graham/Rove/Cheney/Cornyn cabal has done to this country. I live in US-36, Steve Stockman's record is solid.

I don't agree. The bill will not give the feds regulatory authority over a state's CHL requirements. It will simply mean all states will have to recognize all licenses, but licensees will have to comply with the laws of the states into which they choose to carry a handgun.

If it is amended to allow regulatory authority by the feds, then it will be killed.

Chas.

if it doesn't give them control of guns coming into their state, then the Dems won't vote for the bill and the bargain won't go thru....there will be a change, and it will pass. Orrrrr, the bargain will fail and everyone will be able to say they tried, which I suppose might be what they are trying for, but that sounds like an incredible waste of time, which I'm all for, means they aren't trying to take even more of my money.

I don't think you realize the last time this bill was attempted, it passed the house and came within one vote of passing the Senate. I am more hopeful than you.

Personally, I'd like to make a trip to NYC just to be able to carry there. Kind of like sticking my thumb in their eye. I'd probably carry a J-frame revolver with a couple reloads since I believe that would be allowable under New York's draconian (and idiotic) gun laws.

Let's just imagine this bill gets passed and all states "must" honor other state's permits.

We already know that some states can care less about FOPA and that there are several instances of firearms owners being arrested and I think one is even in prison despite this law.

I personally will never step foot in NYC, even if it is ever "legal" for me to CC there. I don't trust the New York cops, courts, or judges. I fear them more than the criminals.

A federal reciprocity law does not mean a thing.
