Rep. Hudson to introduce Concealed Carry Reciprocity Act

[j_h_smith]

I've been saying this for years. If the GOP had any intention of doing this, it would have from 2000-2006, when we controlled all three houses. The good thing is that the RINO Mark Kirk is gone (simply because his no vote gave the liberal media cause to say it was a "bipartisan" defeat). But you know Schumer will organize a filibuster, and I don't see 8 Democrats breaking rank.

I think this is a different era. Not saying that the 2000-2006 Republicans would have done it, I just think we have a MUCH better chance of getting things done now.

At this point there are 2 Dems co-sponsoring this bill. We only need 6 more to feel the heat. I'm sure there's going to be defectors for this bill, just don't know if we can get 6 more. I'm hoping that we can. Nothing ventured, nothing gained.

2 Dem senators are sponsoring? It doesn't matter how many in the house that sign on. It needs 8 dem Senators. I don't see that many breaking ranks.

And at what point do real Americans rise up and start carrying, permit or not, no matter where they travel? How many more terrorist attacks will be acceptable before this happens?

When I travel to America, I hear about this all the time. Many of my friends and family do carry and have been for years. Fortunately for many of them, they can now legally carry.

Here in Maryland, carrying outside the home without a permit could be dangerous in a non-traditional kinda way. Sure you can protect yourselves from the not so kind citizens, but at what cost? For me, I'm not saying one way or another. But there is that saying, "I'd rather be tried by 12 than carried by 6.".

None were willing to sign the House paperwork to prevent the tallying of the Electoral College votes yesterday. So there is hope.

Trump will be the President. He gloats that he had NRA support. Trump is already trying to save a few Million here and there. Old school politics is going out the window. I believe Trump is going to cut pork and that we will see the Govt shut down over spending bills. Only things that are going to get through are things that Trump wants or congress overides. Just my belief. .... we will see.

The Dems changed the filibuster rule. Only 51 votes needed to break now.

It ws not changed for legislation. Only for non SCOTUS judicial and cabinet appointees.

Still need 60 for cloture. Hope we can find 8 honest Democrats.

That's a tall order.

The NRA got this in 2005. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Protection_of_Lawful_Commerce_in_Arms_Act

Without the Lawful Commerce Act we would all be building on 80% receivers.

So we shouldn't talk about the bill and we're all idiots?

My post was explicit and clear: You shouldn't think that talking will get it passed, and "being played by the GOPe as an idiot" is different than me calling you one.

But hey, if you think it fits...

Does "A State" leave out "The Provinces"?

I'd rather get no letter than the form letter crap I just got.

[snakep]

I got one too...in the form provided (fill in) I asked the good representative to be sure he fully supports President Trumps Second Amendment Coalition. We'll see how that goes...

 

[swinokur]

nice to see he's paying attention on a Sunday afternoon.

"Marylanders are anxious about what happens next..." Just more fear mongering tripe. That is their strategy for that next four years.

Not true.

Active Duty military is one exception. If you live in say Texas and are stationed in MD you do not have to get a MD DL. Many DMV's have a mail-in renewal process or DL expiration extension options for these temporarily "displaced heroes".

Okay, true 99% of the time, excluding active duty military.

That is my way of thinking. As written it seems to force "may" issue states to become "shall" issue states. If non-resident permits have reciprocity throughout the country then the state with the easiest attainment rules essentially dictates concealed carry for the rest of the country. I just do not see that happening.

And full time students.

You go to college full time in another state, no new DL required.

It has to be 97%; always allow for the 3%!
