House panel to weigh bill expanding gun rights
House Republicans moved forward on legislation to expand gun owners’ rights, the first gun-related measure since mass shootings in Las Vegas and Texas killed more than 80 people.
The Judiciary Committee is scheduled to vote Wednesday on a National Rifle Association-supported bill that would allow a gun owner with a state-issued concealed carry permit to carry a handgun in any state that allows concealed weapons.
The reciprocity measure would allow gun owners to travel freely between states without worrying about conflicting state laws or “onerous” civil suits, said Rep. Richard Hudson, R-N.C., the bill’s sponsor.

"Lather. Rinse. Repeat" until we WIN!!!
For me, in CA, the way this bill is written is critical. Since I live in a county that won't issue me a CA CCW (because of insufficient "Good Cause"), I'll be able to use my non-resident FL CCW to carry in ALL 50 states (plus D.C.), so that includes CA too! This will be the same for those American citizens caught behind enemy lines in the other 7 remaining May Issue states. As John Lennon so famously said, "Imagine" HI (which now has, IIRC, 2 CCWs issued for the entire state), CA, MD, NJ, NY/NYC, DC, MA/Boston, etc FLOODED with CCWers, both instate and from out-of-state! (vacationers, business trips, family visits, etc)
IIRC, those 8 states have ~27% of the US population. Once they can readily get CCWs, we'll have MILLIONS of more CCWers, but, even more important, they'll be in the hardcore anti strongholds!
