National Right-To-Carry Reciprocity Bill Introduced

Friday, January 23, 2009

U.S. Representatives Cliff Stearns (R-Fla.) and Rick Boucher (D-Va.), recently introduced H.R. 197-- the "National Right-to-Carry Reciprocity Act of 2009"--a bill that would provide national recognition for valid state Right-to-Carry licensees.
The bill would allow any person with a valid carry permit or license issued by a state, to carry a concealed firearm in any other state if the permit holder meets certain criteria. In states that issue permits, a state's laws governing where concealed firearms may be carried would apply within its borders. In states that do not issue carry permits, a federal standard would apply. The bill would not create a federal licensing system; it would simply require the states to recognize each other's carry permits, just as they recognize drivers' licenses.
Senator John Thune (R-S.D.) is expected to introduce the Senate companion bill in the near future. Rep. Stearns has introduced such legislation since 1995.
Please be sure to contact your U.S. Representative at (202) 225-3121, and urge him or her to cosponsor and support H.R. 197!

Unfortunately, this bill stands little chance of becoming law in the Democrat run congress and white house. Our best shot at national right to carry has passed.TheRepublicans who ran the senate, house and white house did not want it. They passed national right to carry for cops and retired cops but did not trust us ordinary law abiding citizens.[:'(]

This has about as much chance of passing as a snowballs chance in hell. Mr Obama actually wants to pass legislation that would outlaw and override state conceal and carry laws as it is.

They'll pass that right after they pass the bill naming me Empress For Life.

Surprised to see a D co sponsor, we actually have a Senator that the NRA likes at least I think I read that.

We really need to wake up here people.

You need to wake up and realize that the Democrats control two branches of government right now. With all the crap they're working on today,national concealed carry is the last thing they'll pass.

That's not a defeatist attitude. It's reality. Sometimes you just can't get what you want.

It is not a waste of time for me to start bugging our elected reps and Have the kids all do the same in their states. Good grief guys why not try. You can all write your reps and get everyone else you know to do it too. We know one thing for sure, it won't pass without a lot of input from the folks. It may not anyway but I am starting today. PLEASE help.
