Rand Paul Pushes ‘Defend Our Capital Act,’ Requires D.C. to Issue Concealed Weapons Permits

According to Paul’s press release, his legislation, Defend Our Capital Act 2015, would:

Require the District of Columbia to begin issuing concealed weapons permits for both residents and non-residents.
Require the District of Columbia to grant reciprocity of concealed weapons permits issued by other states and commonwealths.
Eliminate existing District of Columbia laws that restrict firearms and ammunition ownership.
Allow for national reciprocity of conceal and carry weapons permits between states and for carry by active duty military.
Allow for the carrying of firearms on public, non-sensitive areas of federal property.
Allow for the purchase of firearms across state lines.

"Allow for the purchase of firearms across state lines."

With NICS there is no reason why not. The law restricting out of state sales of firearms was passed before NICS was activated.

Long guns can already be purchased across state lines if the state of residence and state of purchase allow it. I guess this would add handguns.

Won't happen. Once DC okays pro gun laws stated above, that would be admitting it's alright for everyone everywhere to follow suit. Hope I can eat my words.
