As a Duncan Hunter supporter I must say that this statement "legislation to allow reciprocity among states with concealed carry rights" perplexes me a bit.

If the Second Ammendment means that we all have the right to keep and bare arms, and Duncan Hunter really believes that, why then would legislation be needed to allow it between states? Hopefully it was just a misspeak, but I gotta say, it bothers me a bit he would say this in that way.

Good question.

Per the 2nd, we don't.

Per the existing infringement on the 2nd, and until the 2nd again prevails, such legislation helps move us in the right direction.

He is speaking to the legal reality in this nation today. He's trying to gain back lost ground.

I agree ideologically that it is still a shame that we even have to have the discussion.

Jst the same, some fight to gain it all back with a landmark decision at the USSC, others try and gain it back one revoked, unconstitutional law at a time, others seek to regain one granted "concession" at a time.

Others live in places where they can own their own good collection of all types of arms, with plenty of ammo to go along with them, and keep in practise and teach their kids and grandkids.

It's all the same fight and even though some do it differently and may in their speech concede things I would not concede, still we are all fighting to see our rights restored to their full measure and the full intent of the inpiration of the founders in this regard.
