Haven’t seen any posts on this. Looks like they are voting this week. Contact your Reps!!

So, if I’m reading this correctly, this will allow PA residents, with a valid cc permit, to carry in NYC?


Concealed Carry Reciprocity Act of 2017

This bill amends the federal criminal code to allow a qualified individual to carry a concealed handgun into or possess a concealed handgun in another state that allows individuals to carry concealed firearms.

A qualified individual must: (1) be eligible to possess, transport, or receive a firearm under federal law; (2) carry a valid photo identification document; and (3) carry a valid concealed carry permit issued by, or be eligible to carry a concealed firearm in, his or her state of residence.

Additionally, the bill specifies that a qualified individual who lawfully carries or possesses a concealed handgun in another state: (1) is not subject to the federal prohibition on possessing a firearm in a school zone, and (2) may carry or possess the concealed handgun in federally owned lands that are open to the public.

The thing is once it goes national can reps in NY and CA dictate the terms of those who are allowed to carry? That's what I worry about. I already have reciprocity in something like 40 states- the other ten I could care less about anyway. Hell I won't even go to states that are predominately democrat because I'm not interested in spending money with them.

Just make it legal.

If I can marry another man and drive a car then let me carry my legally purchased gun with my legally acquired permit.

Countless multitudes already carry guns anyways legal or not. If people are trying to be above board with it then just let it happen.

That was pretty much what the guy was getting at. I can't seem to find it again, but it had something to do with them endorsing a "fix" for the NICS system.

Apparently Feinstein and Schumer are trying to combine HR 38 with one of their gun control bills (HR 4477). If the NRA is trying to torpedo it, that's most likely why.

This, Feinstein and uncle Chucky are trying to piggy back HR4477 with HR38 as a "Fix NICS" bill that would also allow the VA and other non-judicial organizations to effectively ban people from owning firearms if they have things like PTSD etc. My explanation is simplified but the gist of the measure they are pushing. GOA had a good editorial on it.

There were other bills going through the works to accomplish this same thing, but at least two of the other bills were specifically worded so that a person didn't need to be a resident of the state that granted the permit. In other words, a resident of CA or NY could get a permit from UT or FL, and it would have to be honored in their own state.

Can't remember the name/numbers of these other versions, but I stopped hearing about them right after the Vegas thing.

I still hope this one passes. When it does, and the sky doesn't fall, then maybe we can do another one that would allow people with non-resident permits to carry at home too. This would effectively go right around the gun-banners, and end some of their tyranny.

Specifically looking at #3: "(3) carry a valid concealed carry permit issued by, or be eligible to carry a concealed firearm in, his or her state of residence."

I am completely eligible to carry in my home state, but the county I live in refuses to issue a permit to me because they are a bunch of lefty commie A-Holes. Counties all around me and all over the state issue, but not my county. The way this bill is worded makes it sound like a person doesn't even have to have a CCW permit, but only needs to be eligible to carry a concealed firearm in their state of residence. To me, eligible = Over 21, not a felon, not under any restraining orders, not adjudicated mentally ill in a court of law. Maybe add in the requirement that some states have to take and pass a 16 hour CCW course? If I'm interpreting this correctly, any person meeting these requirements can carry concealed in any state with no permit at all if this new bill passes.

Anyone care to show me how I'm wrong? Am I missing something?

When HR218 was passed, NYPD was arresting out of state LEO carrying in NYC for quite a while.

Not really a good idea to carry in NYC if you don't have a NYC carry permit (a regular New York State carry permit isn't even good enough) or aren't there on official police/government business.

Or just do like me and don't go there under any circumstances ! ;)

Oh, but there is no fun in that. I want to LEGALLY carry right under their noses knowing they hate it and there's not a damn thing they can do about it. I was in NYC last week. BLECHHHH! That place is just awful. Drove upstate to a little town near Albany to visit a friend and it was gorgeous. Picturesque. The air was fresh and clean and it just felt peaceful.

Sometimes I have to travel to areas that I don't really want to go to for business. I could turn down the work and make no money, but that won't last long. The idea, for me, is that law abiding citizens should be able to exercise their rights EVERYWHERE in our country. Even in libtard cities that I would prefer to avoid. My job requires me to travel all over the country. I should be able to carry all over the country. Legally. Whether the scum bags running the city think so or not.

I'm about 100 miles west of Albany. Up State New York is a really nice place. It's the NYC/Long Island area that drags us down. It's mostly red north of Westchester and Rockland Counties.

I agree, we should all be able to carry everywhere we go. However, my New York carry permit doesn't allow me carry in NYC. BUT....if you have a NYC carry permit, you can carry in the whole state?? :confused: They do what they want in NYC. They didn't care that HR218 allowed LEO's to carry in every state with their departments consent (however that worked). They arrested them and it cost them a lot of money in legal fee's to get out of something that wasn't even illegal to begin with.

Been here my whole life and never been to NYC....don't plan on going either.

I admit to keeping my NRA up solely for some member perks and American Rifleman, but the NRA's job is to keep the NRA in business.

I have Florida and New Hampshire, but the law will only allow you to carry in your state using a permit issued by your state. Non resident permits don't work. I believe Will pointed this out. There was an amendment to allow for non resident permits to be used in your state but it was eliminated in committee.

Is it a business? I think so. But at least part of their business is combating lefty commies who are trying really really hard to disarm us all and cripple our ability to defend ourselves and oppose them. They've put a stop the commie shenanigans countless times in recent decades, and the best indicator that they are successfully doing this is the volume with which said commies complain about the "powerful NRA" preventing them from passing all their "common sense gun laws".

They need money to fight our fight and they've resorted to some common marketing tactics to get our money. I find it distasteful, but a necessary evil. I don't have time to go to Washington D.C. or my state capitol and make a career out of exposing their lies and stopping their proposed legislation, so I am very appreciative that someone else is willing to do it for me for a measly $35 a year. As I stated earlier, they are not perfect, and I don't agree with every thing they do every time, but is there someone else doing it better than them? Got a better option? If not, then we ALL need to join up and donate. I find it appalling that there are only 5 million NRA members in a country of 150 million gun owners where our politicians are trying their darndest to disarm us like the rest of the world. If we could get just half the gun owners in this country to join up, we'd landslide every election, shut down every anti-gun bill, end the NFA and GCA, and have Constitutional Carry in every state and city. Can someone explain to me why more gun owners don't join the NRA? Judging by the panic buying at every presidential election, the majority of gun owners seem to understand what is at stake and what is happening, so why not fight it and put a stop to it with a simple, cheap, NRA membership?

The tree of liberty must occasionally be fertilized with the blood of patriots and tyrants… and with a little money donated to the people fighting your fight for you.

For those of you that want to support the big names ... NRA, GOA, etc.. but get too much email.

Every single email program worth it's salt has tools within it that allow you to direct where the mail goes and what gets seen.

If you will look under Tools or Options or whatever similar menu you may have. Look for RULES or some siimilar name. also learn how to make Folders.

EX: NRA-ILA email.

Make a folder named NRA-ILA

Now go to RULES. There will be many options in a logical order, usually via dropbox selections.

So you first choice may be <If FROM IS:> you select or place NRA-ILA
Next is ask what you want to do. You can select <MOVE TO FOLDER:> Again type in or select eh NRA-ILA folder you just made.

So now if you do noting else every email you get from NRA-ILA will go to that folder. You could then set that folder to delete messages over a week old or other such options. You can open the folder and read anything you want or simply never open it.

So basically you never have to actually see any mail from NRA-ILA but as you little folder message count icon goes from say 5 to 30 in a week you will know something is up and maybe you want to read a message.

This is a just a dead simple example. You can get much more complex if need be. But in this day to claim you get too much email is sort of akin to using your arm for turn signals when you drive a car. You need not see any of that mail if that's your choice AND you can see if something is going on.... again much like a gauge on a car... is your engine over heating? Is NRA-ILA trying to warn you to get active.

Or you can keep fooling yourself into thinking inaction brings results and simply place the blame on someone else when things don't go your way.

Specifically looking at #3: "(3) carry a valid concealed carry permit issued by, or be eligible to carry a concealed firearm in, his or her state of residence."

Is this to cover states with Constitutional Carry? It would be odd that you could carry in the other 49, but not in your state.

What about places like Illinois with their FOID system? I still don’t understand how you can visit (stay) in Illinois with a gun and not get arrested. Traveling through should be protected, but even then they got a guy with guns in his car from Wis and charged him with FOID violations. They need to have something about not having to be in complaince with gun and owner registration laws. This will drive the NYS people nuts if FL snowbirds are living for months out of the year and carrying in NYC....

If this portion pertains to details like carrying in restaurants that serve alcohol, churches, or colleges, we are in for a rough ride. While I realize it will be our responsibility to know and follow all these technicalities from state to state, there is no possible way that the majority of CCW holders will do so.

I see another NRA sponsored FOPA type law in our future if this gets passed. A blanket law to protect law abiding citizens from all these state to state minor differences and technicalities while legally carrying concealed.

I don't think you are reading that right. I think this refers to things like bars or churches. Some states allow carrying in bars like PA, some say no-go like TX. This would mean that a TX resident going to PA would be able to carry in a bar and a PA resident in TX would not be able to carry in a bar.

What this law allows is for someone with a PA permit to carry in NJ.

This bill amends the federal criminal code to allow a qualified individual to carry a concealed handgun into or possess a concealed handgun in another state that allows individuals to carry concealed firearms.

A qualified individual must: (1) be eligible to possess, transport, or receive a firearm under federal law; (2) carry a valid photo identification document; and (3) carry a valid concealed carry permit issued by, or be eligible to carry a concealed firearm in, his or her state of residence.

Additionally, the bill specifies that a qualified individual who lawfully carries or possesses a concealed handgun in another state: (1) is not subject to the federal prohibition on possessing a firearm in a school zone, and (2) may carry or possess the concealed handgun in federally owned lands that are open to the public."

So it does NOT allow someone from TN to carry in NYC (judging from that bolded part). Is that correct? If that is indeed right then what the hell good does this bill do?

Presently reciprocity ebbs and flows between states and conditions and can be somewhat vague/confusing for some.

In this case, centralizing (*shudder*) the legal framework removes that weird gotcha where something like: as an Idaho CCW I need to get a Utah CCW to carry in Nevada or Oregon.

Or, to be clumsily blunt, the need for 'Out of State' CCWs becomes unnecessary (as far as I can tell).

That will be an issue in states like Massachusetts. MA's permit system, to no surprise, is completely screwed up. You have to have a Class A permit to even own a gun capable of carrying "high capacity" magazines, and some police chiefs refuse to issue Class A permits. If you have a Class B permit, you may only own revolvers or guns not capable of being loaded with 10+ round feeding devices. You also can't take the gun out of your home for any reason whatsoever. If you are issued a Class A permit, it can be revoked for just about any reason including none at all, at which point you'd have to turn in any weapon considered "high capacity"...and with no compensation. If you have a Class A, they can restrict your carry to things like hunting, target shooting, or employment.

So there's a whole gauntlet of laws that one would have to wade through in places like that.

I have Florida and New Hampshire, but the law will only allow you to carry in your state using a permit issued by your state. Non resident permits don't work. I believe Will pointed this out. There was an amendment to allow for non resident permits to be used in your state but it was eliminated in committee.

But then there is the issue, and mea culpa if this been brought up, but if I edcing a glock 19 in NJ are my gold dots still illegal?

As I read it, yes.

However, NY allows cc, it’s just near impossible to get, so we could carry there, but would have to follow all laws- at least that’s my interpretation.

This law would make your ccw permit from home-state act as a ccw permit from whatever state you are in, so if I’m NJ, it’s the same as if you were a NJ resident with NJ ccw. Again, my take, not a lawyer.

That was my understanding as well.

Regardless I think even if we get national reciprocacy passed I'll hold off on going into either nj or ny for about a year until the kinks get worked out, rather not be a test case.

In NYC and the surrounding area's it's near impossible to get a carry permit. However, upstate counties differ greatly. Some are basically like shall issue and others are harder. Depends on the county.

It's not an ideal system by any stretch. However, there is a HUGE difference between the NYC/Long Island metro area and the rest of New York State. North of Westchester and Rockland Counties the differences are very profound. They just have the numbers to run the state like Chicago does Illinois.

It depends. If ur going from ur house to the range or from the gun shop home then they are legal. If ur carrying from your house to the store, then illegal.

Your magazines over 15rds also illegal.

It's like traffic laws. My DL is valid in NY but I can't make a right turn on red in Manhattan like I can in NJ. Highway speed limits change between states as well.

There really isn't a counter argument for that from what I've seen so far. For 50 states, legally then you must comply to the lowest common denominator for all laws presented to them.

So it does NOT allow someone from TN to carry in NYC (judging from that bolded part). Is that correct? If that is indeed right then what the hell good does this bill do?

Although it does not specifically say it, I assume the text you bolded is in reference to the "shall issue" and "may issue" distinction. If I understand the text correctly any state that is a "may issue", like CA or NY, would have to honor permits from other states. Lots of people in CA have CCW permits and they are good for the whole state. Only a few counties here refuse to issue them to the general population. States like CT, WI and D.C. would not have to allow CCW from other states, sine they are "no issue" states.

For those places with stupid ass magazine capacity restrictions like 7 rounds, and no hollowpoint ammo, a solid case could be made for carrying an L frame 7 shot S&W or new 7 shot Ruger GP100 in .357 Magnum running some kind of jacketed soft point fast enough to get some expansion regardless of not being a hollow-point. Or a large frame big bore 6 shot. I sure as hell wouldn’t want to get hammered with a 240 hard cast lead semi wad-cutter going 1200fps or more.

Rep. Richard Hudson (R., N.C.) clarified on Wednesday that his national concealed carry reciprocity bill would apply to permits issued by states to non-residents.

"My legislative intent is to ensure a non-resident carry permit is recognized, and I've confirmed this with legislative counsel and Judiciary Committee staff," Hudson said.

"And you probably also know that “Fix NICS” would require that the rolls of Social Security, Medicare, Medicaid, CHIP, and ObamaCare be trolled for recipients with PTSD, ADHD, or Alzheimer's -- that is, people who have had guardians appointed.***

What you may not know is that the SECOND LARGEST CATEGORY of prohibited persons is “fugitives from justice” -- and that a good portion of these are Americans who have UNPAID TRAFFIC TICKETS.*"

The only positive changes I can foresee would be suppressor oriented. Even that would likely only happen as part of a compromise. The irony that is the suppressor regulation. It doesn't even fit the Lefts narrative. I guess they figure a multi-gun murderer is going to go out and spend a few thousand bucks, create a larger visual profile to conceal, and once they start shooting in a crowd, the stampede of screaming people will also be silenced.

But... they will put forth more death will occur if "silencers" were legal so they get to use that as a bargaining chip..... and many on the Right will buy into it. So something like a UBC + Suppressors off NFA list type deal. Still will be classified as a firearm. ... and I'm not even sure what the implications are when they start messing around with NFA regulations.

Hell, Virginia still outlaws switchblade knives unless you can prove you belong to a certain class of citizen. Politicians do not and will not take up their time to reverse those insane type laws. Those type laws are like a little pot of gold in bargaining power for them. They never know when they might come in handy so they keep them. Better to have and not need than to return possession to the rightful owner.

Whatever minuscule chance nationwide reciprocity had died forever in Las Vegas.

I'll never happen. HPA will never happen. Removing the sporting clause will never ever happen.

Guess what did happen though..... I was listening to drive time radio this afternoon and our local guy is saying the Bump Stock deal is ready to be signed and it's a "Turn Them In or Destroy" deal.

So he asked people to call in and comment on two aspects.... do you think it's a slipper slope / Boil the Frog deal OR a Sacrificial Lamb deal?

Now he only gets to have a handful of callers due to time. Let's say 5-7. I know at least 2-3 just said BumpStock was a joke, can be done other ways. I know 2 people said it was just a sacrificial lamb deal. Give it to them and it's done.

Only 1 or maybe 2 said this was a boil the frog situation. One more piece of the pie until they get everything.

Even on this forum you will see 85% ratios on various mentalities regarding strict conclusions. So in the public can we really expect to get anything nearing 50% strict 2A compliance without a massive fight? I don't see how and I believe the next time the Dems get all three branches in their hands it's all going down the toilet.
