Should be, yes. Will be? No.

Once again history scares me on this one. The firearms owner protection act should have been a great thing for gun owners. Instead, we got the Hughes amendment.

Were winning in the courts, were winning in the arena of public opinion.

Why give the antis a way to hit us the only way the have left, the us legislature?

Benefits don't outweigh the risks on this one to me. Were winning state by state.

Congress critters from NY, NJ, California, Illinois, and several other states with either no CHL or highly restrictive, "may issue" licensure will argue that this law makes it necessary to establish "national standards" for issuance of CHL's. Now, just what standards do you think that the likes of Pelosi, Boxer, Feinstein, Schumer, et. al. would want promulgated? Elimination of "shall issue" would be first on the list, and all of the work of the last 25 years, getting "shall issue" in many states, would go down the drain. If a state didn't go along with the standards, they might lose federal "aid", i.e. money, for law enforcement, and their licenses would be void outside their state borders. How long would any state hold out?

We don't need to give the feds any more excuses to get involved in this area. My humble opinion.
I agree. This is my big worry with this bill as well.

Remember how the Hughes amendment got passed. Slipped into what was supposed to be a firearm owners protection act. Oopps!
