National Concealed Carry Reciprocity is a better idea.

How do you “prove” what state you are traveling to?

What if you have a breakdown in a hostile state and are forced to stay the night?

Can I drive from Pennsylvania through New York on my way to North Carolina?

You are absolutely correct. However, this is a smaller increment, and *should* be easy to pass. Who could be against it, except for the extremely anti-freedom states like New York, New Jersey, Maryland, California, and Illinois? They are a distinct minority.

For that matter, universal reciprocity should be easy to pass as well, with 49 states having some form of CCW license/permit. The fact that it has not passed shows how committed to the agenda of citizen disarmament the “progressives” are.

in part
One of the law’s provisions was that persons traveling from one place to another cannot be incarcerated for a firearms offense in a state that has strict gun control laws if the traveler is just passing through (short stops for food and gas) and the firearms and ammunition are not immediately accessible, unloaded and, in the case of a vehicle without a compartment separate from the driver’s compartment, in a locked container.[7]

An example of this would be that someone driving from Virginia to a competition in Vermont with a locked hard case containing an unloaded handgun and a box of ammunition in the trunk could not be prosecuted in New Jersey or New York City for illegal possession of a handgun provided that they did not stop in New Jersey or New York for an extended period of time.

However Washington D.C., New York, New Jersey, and several other states routinely ignore this provision; arresting, prosecuting, and imprisoning travelers who are complying with this federal law

Route through W. Va, Va. Avoid NY, Maryland, NJ.

I too would like to see the NCCR pass. BUT, this is a concept that has some risky ramifications IMO. It comes down to states rights, doesn’t it. If the USG can tell states to recip CCW laws, what else can it force state governments to do? Equalize state income tax? Provide the same min wage? Health care? Talk among yourselves...

The trouble with national CCW is that Barbara Boxer will write the conditions for the permit.
