HR 822: Concealed Carry Reciprocity Bill Introduced
HR 822: Concealed Carry Reciprocity Bill Introduced (Updated)
Rep. Cliff Stearns (R-FL) introduced HR 822 on Friday. It is:

To amend title 18, United States Code, to provide a national standard in accordance with which nonresidents of a State may carry concealed firearms in the State.

The full text of the bill is not yet available and he hasn't issued a press release describing the bill.

Rep. Heath Shuler (D-NC) - my Congressman - is the first co-sponsor of the bill. Whatever else I might say about Heath, he is good on the Second Amendment. You also may remember that he came out in the aftermath of the Tucson shootings saying he had a CCW permit and did carry. He also encouraged his staff to obtain a CCW permit.

This is something I would like to see passed!

1. Suhweet. It will get through this time. If I'm not mistaken it missed by 2 or 3 votes last time

2. if I remember correctly..
The last time, it had some 'supporters' who knew it wouldn't pass (ie, their support was conditional on not having enough votes to make it.)

3. May it go down to dismal failure.
Although the yahoos will likely pass it.

4. Just a matter of time. The trend is moving in this direction, numbers on ccw holders are compelling
so this makes sense. Unlike a ban on things that look kinda scary.
