This is a great way to get around all the states that do not issue Concealed Weapon Permits to their citizens. We need to support this bill.

Write your elected officials in the House of Representatives about H.R. 990

I can carry concealed in Vermont. Can I carry in all 50 states if this passes?

absolutely outstanding. A shot has just been fired over the bow, at Feinswine and Shumerscum.

Not so sure I like this. I think this should be a state by state issue unless there is set federal testing/training standard that everybody must go through in order to get their permit.

The fly in the ointment is the great state of Vermont which doesn't require a permit. In effect all Vermonters are already permitted. I suppose you could require a permit from one of the other 49 to be legal in all 50 but that would leave Vermonters at a disadvantage (besides the big one of having Jeffords/Sanders/Leahy as congressional representatives).

If this passes (which is highly unlikely despite being emminently fair and just)Vermont will have to address the issue themselves I suppose.

Doesn't this bill fly in the face of powers retained by the states or the people?

when God given rights are percieved to be state given rights they can easily be taken away

Would this allow people with CCWs from other states have handguns in NYC?

So what if it does pass? In some States, you better not protect yourself with an eeevilll gun; you'll be charge with something nasty. As an example to the rest of us...

Tack on some verbage about home-State use of force protections; THEN it'll be worth something grand.
