A push for national firearms carry.

[500grains]

...

Police are second responders. The first responders are always we, the people, on the scene as events unfold.

The time has come to insist upon robust restoration of our right to defend ourselves, to keep and bear arms when and where arms might be needed in public places, to forestall these serious known threats to our safety.

It is time to press forward for nationally recognized right to carry and honor and respect the plain meaning of the Second Amendment.

I am sure Senator Lugar will betray us again and vote against this if it comes up.

That would be awesome if it ever came to fruition, seeing how I live in the only state without a CCW law.

If the feds have the right to grant nationwide carry, they have a right to take it away. I'm fine leaving this to the states as was intended. If you don't like your state laws there's 49 others you can try.

That's a cop out, esp when you already LIVE in a state where you can get a CCW. Of course your "fine" with that.

Yeah, in these financial times it's economically feasible to just "sell your house" and move. No.

If we don't hang together, we will surely hang separately.

Correct...until you travel outside that state.

Example: Utah Resident Permit and surrounding states. It is honored in AZ, WY, ID and CO. It is not recognized in CA, NV, or NM.

There is the problem. Of the states listed, CA, NV and NM are the states I would want to be armed in the most.

The solution is to force the recognition of state permits across the country similar to the way drivers licenses must be recognized. I believe it has something to do with "Equal Protection" under the Constitution.

Instead of the fed coming up with its own national CCW, go the equal protection route.

It would be very helpful if we could ever get Congress to pass a law to the effect that the 2nd Am allows only very minimal restrictions on CC such as court rooms, airpport, prisons, jails (not federal buildings - ****ers). That would be recognition that there should be no license needed to exercise any constitutional rights. You do not need a license from the government before you can go to church. Why should you need one before you can carry a gun? Religion is much more dangerous than guns as it has been responsible for many more dead bodies through human history than guns. (but let's not get sidetracked on this)
