Title: National Concealed Carry Reciprocity Legislation
Post by: SturmRugerSR9 on January 13, 2016, 11:51:26 PM
Currently there are 3 bills before the US House of Representatives, and 1 before the US Senate, to establish a National Concealed Carry Reciprocity covering legal carry od guns nation wide, The basis is this. If you have a concealed carry permit issued by your home state it would be good in all states that require a concealed carry permit. If a state has a concealed carry permit law, they must recognize your out of state permit. That would mean that states like MD, PA, Etc. would have to let DE. permit holders carry in their state. If a state does not allow a conceal carry in their state, they would not be forced to let people carry. Then there are some states that allow concealed carry without a permit.
This would not change the responsibility of the carrier in these states. You would be responsible for knowing and following the specific laws of that state you were in.

The following are the bills I speak of:

SB. 498

HR. 402

HR. 923

HR. 986

All bills and their Co-Sponsors are available on-line.

That would be nice it would eliminate having to get multiple permits to carry around.  Sounds like this would defeat the VA non recip that goes into effect next month.  Hopefully it does not get swept under the rug.  Good to see you around Strum!!!

I have sent a letter to both senators and Carney to support these bills, but I don't expect them to do so as they will follow the liberal agenda.

I wouldn't hold my breath on this. This congress was elected with major help from gun owners and they have done zip to put anything pro gun out there.

Of course if congress did pass this bill, it would be immediately vetoed by Obama.

Our only hope is to elect a Liberty Loving Republican in November and hold the house and senate.

Oh and might I add, the next 3 or 4 Supreme Court justices.

Although I believe in National Reciprocity, the idea of it coming by way of the Fed's makes me nervous (not to be confused with paranoid).  I think the Federal government is big enough now without taking more power that should be left in the hands of each state.  I'm just saying "careful what we wish for." 8)

Post by: Hawkeye on March 17, 2016, 01:01:57 PM
If there is to be such a law there needs to be some kind of protection for when you violate an administrative firearm regulation in another state.  Some states would try to interfere with legal carriers by imposing a cumbersome bureaucratic maze of rules hoping to turn legal carriers into felons and thereby intimidating legal carriers from carrying in that state (think New Jersey or Washington DC).  I could see something such as a traffic ticket type of action or something similar to a summons you can get in some places for small amounts of marijuana, rather than arrest and incarceration for violating simple, non-criminal rules.  There should also be some basic, clear cut, across the board rules that all states would have to abide by that cannot be legislated away by the states.  After these basics are met then the state can add their particular idiosyncrasies as they feel necessary. With today’s partisanship this would be nearly impossible.

This law will be like your drivers license. You will still have abide by the individual states concealed carry laws, and it will be your responsibility to know them. But it will make states like Maryland and Illinois allow permit holders from other state carry there, just because those states do have a permit on the books.

I could see states such as MD and the likes doing away with CCW permits all together so as to not have to recognize another state's CCW.  Some excuse along the lines of.. other states aren't strict enough and we can't guarantee the safety of our citizens by screening that's done in another state, therefore for public safety we will do away with CCW altogether.  The old, take away your freedom to promise "safety" and result in neither.

MOdel10TODD,

MD. does have a concealed carry permit, but it is available to few. But still they do have one, which would mean as long as they do they would have to reciprocate with other states if the US Constitutional Concealed Carry Reciprocity Act is made law.

Here's something else you may not be aware of. Maryland House Bill 0369 co-sponsored by about 32 Delegates has been introduced and is in the Judiciary committee I believe. This Bill specifies that a permit to carry a handgun issued to an individual in Delaware, Pennsylvania, Virginia, Washington DC, or West Virginia is valid in Maryland.
You may want to go to a Maryland House Bill tracking site to keep an eye on this.

I was certainly well aware of MD currently having a CCW and the difficultly involved in obtaining one.  A family member does business in MD and we have looked into trying to obtain one.  It makes me SMH.  ::)

I hope the bill goes through and I hope MD makes CCW more obtainable for MD citizens who want to protect themselves.

Title: Re: National Concealed Carry Reciprocity Legislation
Post by: SturmRugerSR9 on October 25, 2016, 02:17:56 PM
As I understand it, states that have a Concealed Carry Permit, however scarcely it is issued, would have to honor other states permits. Just like driver's license. Only states with no C/C permits would be exempt. How ever, when in a state other than your home state, you would have to abide by their laws and regulations. This will put a big responsibility on the C/C Permit holder to educate themselves on the laws of the state they enter or travel through. The Constitutional Concealed Carry Reciprocity Act is not a Federal Permit, not does it change or standardize the laws of other states.
Title: Re: National Concealed Carry Reciprocity Legislation
Post by: Hawkeye on October 25, 2016, 03:24:59 PM
This brings us back to my post earlier in this thread. How would they choose to handle violations in each state? Violating another state's administrative rule for carrying firearms should be treated as traffic violations and not a felony, unless of course you actually used the firearm to commit a crime. Another action I would like to see is having the permit annotated on your driver's license like an endorsement for motorcycles.
Title: Re: National Concealed Carry Reciprocity Legislation
Post by: SturmRugerSR9 on October 25, 2016, 07:01:04 PM
Some states have a law that you must inform an officer if you are carrying and some you don't (like Delaware). It would be up to the gun carrier to know the laws. I would not be for a annotation as you suggested because in some states the officer does not have a right to no you are carrying. This is not part of the Constitutional Concealed Carry Reciprocity Act of 2016 as read in to Congress.
Title: Re: National Concealed Carry Reciprocity Legislation
Post by: SturmRugerSR9 on October 25, 2016, 07:04:51 PM
May  be you should go back and re-read the bill. There is nothing in the bill that changes a states current laws.

Not for having CC permit annotated on driver's license because there is no reason to announce to the world you are CONCEALED carrying.

I would like states such as NJ, CA, MD, etc. change from within.  National legislation is great when we agree with it, but horrible when we don't.  I do see the argument that these liberal states are not allowing our constitutional rights and that needs to be addressed at the federal level.  If I read MD's CC law correctly, even if I do posses a MD CCW permit, I can not travel on an interstate with the gun. ??  If this is the case, how does National R help me if I'm traveling through MD but have to obey MD local law?  Hopefully we do get the National R passed and the local governments also head in the right direction.. but I tend to not be optimistic about most of those states.  MD will have bills come forward that only get tabled and end up being a carrot on a stick.  Some of those officials here in DE that are getting elected aren't helping my concerns either, such as hard line leftist Carney.

This is a state that made it harder for retired LEO's to have the ability to carry concealed. This is one of reasons I moved out of that cesspool 4 months after I retired.

From the political grapevine:
Both the Senate & House versions of reciprocity bills have already been drafted & are expected to be introduced within the first few months of 2017. Given the composition of congress they should pass easily. It is not expected that the opposition will filibuster the bills due to the need to conserve their political capital. There are also several D senators & congressmen that hail from conservative districts. Not voting in favor of reciprocity would be political suicide for them. Also, the opposition's entire leadership has been decimated. After what happened last Tuesday anything that angers middle aged white men (most of us) is just not happening.

What I also heard is that the bills will include provisions for reciprocity for those from states that have Constitutional Carry laws. I fully expect the NRA, GOA & SAF to be heavily involved with the wording. Also hoping that they include provisions that will prevent CCW permit holders from  being arrested for minor infractions.

Remember that we are now 100% in the drivers seat. Even if MD or NJ refused to comply with the spirit or letter of the law, SCOTUS will eventually put them in their place. Speaking of which, we need as many cases as possible to hit the courts within the next few years.

IMO, our ultimate goal should now be to get SCOTUS to affirm that the personal right to keep & bear arms extends beyond one's home, that Strict Scrutiny applies to all laws that attempt to limit 2A rights and that "Shall not be infringed" means exactly what it says.

There is no longer any need to stay under the radar on 2A issues.

I will tell you that for the gun issue and concealed carry in particular that it goes way beyond white men.  All races and both sexes are coming on board with this.  I see it all the time.  I know blacks and Hispanics that voted for Trump solely because of the gun issue.  As for females, the NRA did a very fine job during the election painting self defense as a woman issue.  This needs to be carried forward into the legislation and judicial process.

Strike while the iron is hot!!

Remember too that we need to make sure that we can insulate ourselves from the political push back the next time some monster goes berserk in a "gun free zone".  How that is handled will be the true test.

The very first shooting after national carry is passed will be blamed directly on this law.  We need a plan.  A good plan.

HR 923 with it's 119 co-sponsors is waiting to be brought to the floor for a vote. With a Republican House, Senate, and soon to be President and a new conservative appointed Judge in the Supreme Court, I look for the Constitutional Conceal Carry Reciprocity Act to be on Trumps desk for a signature in his first year.

Here is a link to the text of the proposed bill:

http://dailycaller.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/12/Concealed-Carry-Reciprocity-Act-of-2017-Rep.-Hudson.pdf

It appears to me that New Jersey & Maryland are pretty much screwed.
The bill also seems to imply that if you have a permit from ANYWHERE it must be accepted in ANY state.
For example a Utah non-resident permit must be accepted in Maryland even if you are a Maryland resident.

Also the following would prevent states from arresting you if you violate one of their cryptic restrictions:
‘‘(c)(1) A person who carries or possesses a concealed
13 handgun in accordance with subsections (a) and (b) may
14 not be arrested or otherwise detained for violation of any
15 law or any rule or regulation of a State or any political
16 subdivision thereof related to the possession, transpor-
17 tation, or carrying of firearms unless there is probable
18 cause to believe that the person is doing so in a manner
19 not provided for by this section.


Title: Re: National Concealed Carry Reciprocity Legislation
Post by: SturmRugerSR9 on December 07, 2016, 10:43:30 PM
Maryland has a concealed carry permit, although seldom issued. So according to how I read HR986 they would have to abide by Federal Law. NJ is another story.
Title: Re: National Concealed Carry Reciprocity Legislation
Post by: groundgrid on December 07, 2016, 11:31:00 PM
New Jersey falls into the same category as MD.
They do issue  permits to a very few, well connected people. Therefore, they must abide by the law &
recognize out of state permits.

All 50 states & DC have some kind of CCW law on the books, even if it is a very restrictive may issue scheme.
As written, this bill would essentially make every state shall issue whether they do it formally or by being forced to recognize out of state permits.
Title: Re: National Concealed Carry Reciprocity Legislation
Post by: oldgraygeek on December 08, 2016, 12:13:37 AM
It looks like the NRA is going for a stricter form of reciprocity, which I would refer to as "resident permit reciprocity:"

"North Carolina Republican Rep. Richard Hudson on Monday released the details of the bill he plans to introduce in the next session. The bill would allow anybody with a valid concealed carry permit from the state they live in to carry a gun in any other state."

He may be a little week in the knees after being hammered at a "town hall" type meeting where he was harrassed by members of the Bloomberg anti-gun group. See the piece below from that encounter: 
Tell Congress: Don't Gut Our Gun Laws

The NRA is pushing a law that would force all 50 states to allow anyone to carry loaded, concealed guns in public, with no background checks or training. At Everytown for Gun Safety, we believe this puts us all at risk. But the NRA won't be satisfied until anyone -- even dangerous people -- can carry a gun anywhere. Sign the petition to Congress: Don't let Donald Trump and the NRA gut our gun laws. Say NO to the NRA's national concealed carry reciprocity bill.

Paid for by Everytown for Gun Safety.

On 6/7/2017 Rep. Greg Walden (R-OR-2) signed on to HR 38 to bring the total Co-Sponsors to 195.
You ask what are the chances? Well that depends on Paul Ryan for the House Bill and Mitch McConnell in the Senate. They are the "Gatekeepers" of what get to the floor for a up and down vote. At this point I am not happy with either of them, as I feel they are both anti-Trump Republicans. They don't want to help his agenda and want to control the Republican agenda themselves, as they don't look at him as a real Republican. Some people make the mistake in believing all Liberals are Democrats. They are quite a few Republican Liberals in the Congress. So, that being said, I would give the National Reciprocity Bills (HR 38 and S 446) no better than a 50/50 chance of hitting the floor. Rest assure, that if these bills die, they will be back again under new bill numbers in the next session of Congress. It has been stated by President Donald J. Trump (himself a concealed carry permit holder and lifetime member of the NRA) that he will sign this into law as soon as they hit his desk.
Of course we, in the "Monocracy" of Delaware, cannot count on any support from our Congressional Representatives, because they are all Democrats. It is foolish on how we keep putting these Liberal Progressives anti-gunners, in office and expecting a different result. It's Moronic!

If that happens we might get a vote on this perhaps attached to something else.

"We vacate both orders below and remand with instructions

The links at the bottom did not come over from the email.  You'll have to google the title to get the link.  Sorry.


Dear Radnor:
This week, our research was discussed on ABC's “The View”, Fox News' “The Five”, and “Fox & Friends”.  The Washington Post and Foxnews.com have run news stories on our research.  The Chicago Tribune published our op-ed on how Democrats pass laws making gun ownership too expensive for poor people. Other op-eds appeared at The Hill and Fox News.  We also appeared on Fox Business and on Turkish Worldwide Television.  See the links below
As if all that weren’t enough, our crimeresearch.org website now exceeds NRA.org and Bloomberg's Everytown.org in web traffic.  While the CPRC’s website ranks at 16,542, the NRA’s is 20,279 and Everytown’s isn’t even close at 73,973.  Pretty amazing.
In mid-September, the US House Judiciary Committee will hold hearings on a concealed handgun reciprocity bill which will make concealed carry permits valid across state lines (like driver’s licenses).  Most states already accept out-of-state concealed handgun permits, but eight heavily Democratic states do not.  If reciprocity becomes law, people in those states will quickly learn how unjustified their fears of permit holders are.
While the House of Representatives seems destined to pass reciprocity, two or three Democratic Senators will need to be swayed if we are to overcome the promised Democratic filibuster.
I need your help.  We need to raise money for public relations so that we can keep educating others.  And we still need to do some more research.
— Gun control organizations are using new research by John Donohue, a Stanford law professor, to claim that right-to-carry laws increase the number of aggravated assaults (and thus violent crime in general).  The debate up to this point has been over complex statistical issues, but there is also a simple way of responding to the claim in one or two simple sentences.   Donohue’s assumption is that permit holders are committing these crimes, but we are looking at the actual data on aggravated assaults by permit holders in each state.  I have already collected this data for some states, but we need it for the others so that we can assuage the fears of concerned voters and politicians. 
The other claim is that guns are being stolen from permit holders’ cars and then used to commit crimes.  Donohue's supposed anecdotes were in fact simply made up, but I would like to have some solid data on this issue.  We have just begun collecting data. 
— The Violence Policy Center has claimed that 230 permit holders have been convicted of murder in the past 10 years.  From the New York Times to the Wall Street Journal, the media keeps using the VPC reports.  But some of those 230 cases didn’t even involve permit holders.  And I have shown that in a few states, the VPC double, triple, or even quadruple-counted certain cases.  Furthermore, news stories aren't always reliable.  To come up with a more accurate number, the VPC would need to do FOIA requests and contact defense attorneys.
I have an idea for research that I think will make a real difference in the reciprocity debate. However, I don't want to publicly reveal this yet.
My best guess is that I could accomplish all of this for about $30,000. At this late date, some of the research won’t be completed until the Senate has already started to take up the reciprocity issue.   However, whatever funding we get will determine how much of this we get done before debate really begins.  With a Republican House and Senate, as well as a President who strongly supports this legislation, we have a unique chance to quickly do some really useful research.

We gave the Repubs the power in Congress but they have turned their gutless backs on us. These are the establishment turds and never Trumpers. I myself will never give another cent to the GOP either in DE or national. IMHO they are as useless as tits on a bull. I am sure the last sentence will be adjusted by the deccw PC police. I have a good mind to go to G'town and change my vote status to Independent.

You are aware that in Delaware, if you are an Independent, you don't get to pick  the candidate in either the Republican or Democrat Parties. You end up with the candidate they give you. This may be a candidate you can't support or someone the Party thinks is entitled to be representing the Party. Such as Hillary Clinton for the Democrats, or another Bush for the Republicans. Both bad choices.
Of course I realize in Delaware, Democrats are always a bad choice.

You can change your affiliation before the primaries if you wish to vote in them. As far as the Republican Party in Delaware, it seems fairly weak. In some cases they don't eve have a candidate running against the Democrats. people just don't seem interested.

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.
More at:
http://wate.com/2017/11/27/house-panel-to-weigh-bill-expanding-gun-rights/amp/

While I doubt it will pass the Senate, by forcing a vote over there it will smoke out antis and RINOs so that the NRA ("I'm the NRA!"), can replace them at the next November elections. "Lather. Rinse. Repeat" until we WIN!!!  ;D

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!

Even though Delaware is a "May Issue" state, I don't know or many cases where an applicant was turned down, unless they had a criminal/mental/violence background record. Then of course it is not the State that is to blame but the applicant themselves.

As of now, all 210 Republicans have signed on as Co-Sponsors of HR 38, add to that 3 Democrats, totaling 213. When(and if) the bill comes up to the floor for a vote, it will need 5 more votes to make 218, which is required for a bill to pass. There are 435 member of the House. Of the 5 needed, Rep. Paul Ryan would vote to break a tie vote.
The Democrats signed on are Rep. Harry Cuellar of Texas, Rep. Coliin Peterson of Minn., and Rep. Sanford Bishop of Ga.

Other Democrats rated "C" or above by the NRA but not yet signed on are: Rep. Ron King of Wisc, Rep. Gene Green of Tex., Rep. Tim Ryan of Ohio, Rep. John Barrow of Ga. (rated "A").

Introduced  01/03/2017
Bill   H.R. 38
Author  Rep. Hudson
Title   Concealed Carry Reciprocity Act
Action   Recorded Vote
Result   Passed as Amended (19-11)

Next it has to go to the floor for a full House vote I believe, then if passed it goes to the US Senate. Is that right?

The House bill could be voted on by the full House as soon as next week. (But even if it is not, there's a lot of pressure to vote on it before Jan 1st.)

Then the version sitting before the Senate Judiciary Cmte will have to start moving. If/when it passes out of committee, then it will face a floor vote in the Senate. That, IMO, is where the real "knock down, drag out" fight will take place. The antis will throw EVERYTHING they can against us to keep the bill from passing the Senate. If/when it does get voted on (perhaps as late as summer so that anti votes will take place close to the Nov elections), if it passes, it goes to Trump's desk for his (election promised) signature!

If it doesn't pass the Senate, the NRA will use those votes to replace antis/RINOs in both the House and Senate. FWIW, the Dems have 23 seats to defend vs 8 for the Repubs: that's almost 3x as many seats!  ;D

Just a heads up here. I sent one of those tell your congressman to support the Concealed Carry Reciprocity Act to Chris Coons. He thanked me for sharing my thoughts on the matter. Gave me some BS on how he as a self-proclaimed communist, that he believes that the right to bear arms is protected by the second amendment. Then Mr Coons says "I Oppose the Constitutional Concealed Carry Reciprocity Act because I believe federally imposed Concealed carry laws interfere with a states decisions on matters of public safety".

1.      I didn't ask him what he thought, I asked him to support the CCW reciprocity Act. Excuse me Mr Coons, your job is to do what I/we people of
         Delaware ask you to do.

2.       Why would Concealed Carry Reciprocity have an effect on a state's public safety other than making it safer. An armed society is a safe society.

3.       Another thing Mr. Coons points out is a sensible gun law in one state would not be sensible in another. Mr. Coons there is no such thing as a   
          sensible gun law in any state. I, you, nor anyone else can name one gun law that prevented or stopped a criminal from killing someone.

       A gun is a tool, no different than a hammer or a screwdriver. Its use is solely dependent upon the person using it. Nobody needs a gun to kill, they just need a reason.

Thank You for allowing me to rant. I feel much better now.

This passed the house today.  6 democrats voted for it and 14 Republicans voted against it.  231 to 198.  The bill would also "enhance" background checks. Some also wanted a ban on so called "bump stocks", but this was not attached to the bill. 

Unless this gets some Democratic support in the Senate it is unlikely to pass.

Glad to hear this passed in the House. But you are right, the real fight will be in the US Senate. It will take every Republican plus VP Pence to get this through. Problem is "Never Trumpers" like John McCain and a few others would like nothing better that to screww Trump, ever at the price of screwing 73% of Americans that favor this legislation. This will be politics at its worst.
Of course all the Democrat anti-gunners have to do is vote "NO" and let the "Never Trumpers" take the blame for the Trump loss.

I disagree with the author's conclusion that mag limits imposed by a State are overridden. HR 38  (https://www.congress.gov/bill/115th-congress/house-bill/38/text)says:
“(b) This section shall not be construed to supersede or limit the laws of any State that—

“(1) permit private persons or entities to prohibit or restrict the possession of concealed firearms on their property; or

“(2) prohibit or restrict the possession of firearms on any State or local government property, installation, building, base, or park.

I interpret 'restrict' to leave State laws in place based on the premise that property is either privately owned or State owned, e.g., an NJ street belongs to State or local government. If you are moseying around NJ outside of FOPA, you had better be carrying a 10 round mag.  If this isn't the correct interpretation, the Senate is likely to revise the bill to accommodate the States.

Ooooo. Scary.    Licensed concealed carriers crossing state lines so they can shoot people with impurity. 
OMG they are just itching to shoot innocent people in New York and California.  Only thing stopping them is that their license is not valid in those states.

Wild West, OK corral, shoot out at every parking lot.....


I missed it but I may watch it later on the CBS app.
Was it really that bad only negative stuff?

60 Minutes had on a gun control advocate who quoted the 2008 Supreme Court Heller decision that allowed guns in the home but our intrepid reporters failed to note this from the WaPo article entitled D.C. Circuit upholds right to bear arms for D.C. residents (https://www.washingtonpost.com/news/volokh-conspiracy/wp/2017/07/25/d-c-circuit-upholds-right-to-bear-arms-for-d-c-residents/?utm_term=.3a9b273818ab)
” In 2014, the D.C. law making it impossible to obtain a permit to carry outside the home is held unconstitutional. (Similar to an Illinois statute that was held unconstitutional by the 7th Circuit in 2012.)

They also put on police chiefs who talked up increased violence due to guns but never made an reference to John Lott’s More Guns, Less Crime.

They just tried to say that large city’s  will be less safe if the bill passes . Pushing states that do not require the “training” will allow people to carry firearms in city’s like New York when their own people can’t. They claim that law enforcement is against this bill and had some law enforcement saying it will make people less safe.  It certainly was not on our side . I made sure I changed the channel as soon as it was over .. I didn’t want to help their ratings anymore than I had to .

Did anyone really expect anything less that a Left-Wing presentation from CBS 60 Minutes, on the Constitutional Concealed Carry Reciprocity Act of 2017-18?
This wasn't an interview. It was a Left-Wing idealogy piece.
In a true interview you ask the guest questions to bring light and truth to the subject. So why did the moderator do most of the talking(lecturing)?

Same old tired Left-Wing blather.

Why would we expect more?

Interesting pair of articles from CCW Safe (https://ccwsafe.com/blog/concealed-carry-reciprocity-act) and Legal Heat  (https://mylegalheat.wordpress.com/2011/08/09/2amendment/).  In the first article the author points out , HR 38 will allow carry in States where that State issues concealed carry licenses. But States such as NJ, MD, NY, and HI could just eliminate concealed carry altogether or tighten up the laws to make carry unfeasible.

The Legal Heat articles distinguishes between “keep arms” (which Supreme Court has ruled as constitutional) from “bear arms” (which SCOTUS has not yet ruled on). “Bear arms” is a state issue which fortunately for us, Delaware has done.  California, Iowa, Maryland, Minnesota, New Jersey, New York have not.
Section 20. (http://delcode.delaware.gov/constitution/constitution-02.shtml#P95_7849) A person has the right to keep and bear arms for the defense of self, family, home and State, and for hunting and recreational use.

Senate Bill 446 (the Senate version of HR38) makes a small step forward. Judiciary hearing started 3/14/2018.

I doubt whether even the antis on SCOTUS would go along with NY banning CC since they already ban OC, and thus would effectively ban the Right to Bear Arms entirely. Practically, that is also true for the vast majority of CA residents as well.

"Bear Arms" is currently only protected at the state level, that is true. That is also why those 6 states without a state constitutional RKBA are where the federal Bear Arms cases will arise that will one day, if Trump gets to replace either Kennedy or an anti, be taken by SCOTUS and give us ALL a federal Constitutionally protected right to Bear Arms.

The Senate version of the National Concealed Carry Reciprocity Act  of 2017, S.446, has just got it's 40th co-sponsor signed on.

Unfortunately, one gets the feeling that S.446 will need 59 co-sponsors and 1 sponsor to move past Mitch McConnell.

This is something Trump said he is for and would sign if passed in the House and Senate. So, since Mitch McConnell is a "Never Trumper", It will likely not ever get to  Trump. McConnell is the "Gate Keeper of the Senate, nothing gets in, nothing get out unless he ok's it.
He needs to go, ASAP.

Ok, listen up. Republicans have the US house, the US Senate, The Presidency, and now the conservative control of the SCOTUS, right?  So when are we going to get National Concealed Carry Reciprocity? If we get that, screw PA. and the other states. We won't need their permits, we'll save money, and gas running around trying to get other states permits.


Now is when we need to get on the Republicans and especially Mitch McConnell, to bring a Bill to the floor and pass it. Trump has said from the get go he will sign it into law, and now we can be confident that the SCOTUS will back it.

I sent an email to Senator John Cornyn  of Texas. He and Rep Hudson were the originators of the House and Senate bills last year.

Let you know what they say.

I don’t understand a lot of this stuff.  Now is the time to move on it — because there is no later.  If the thought is that things will settle down and they’ll be able to act on it, that’s just crazy.  There will be another shooting, another stabbing, another truck used to drive over someone — anything that can be used as a reason why such a law would be unreasonable and dangerous. 

If not now — then when?

As I've said, Mitch McConnell is the gate keeper to the bills that get to the Senate floor. The bill has been voted on and passed by the US House, it has the backing of the NRA, I has already been said by President Donald Trump, that he will sign if passed by the US Senate. McConnell is blocking the bill for some unknown reason. The bill had 213 co-sponsors in the House, including a couple of Democrats.

The Senate version(S 446) in in the Senate Judiciary committee (headed by (R)Chuck Grassley) and has 40 co-sponsors.

My latest research shows that US Senate Bill S.446 will die in the Senate Judiciary Committee, who is under the control of Sen. Grassley. There has ben no action of hearings on it for a year and a half and for all practical purpose it is "dead in the water". I had 40 co-sponsors and if at least 11 others voted for it, it never had a chance of getting passed and signed into law.

As things look now, unless some one else takes up the torch of freedom of concealed carry reciprocity, it just ain't going to happen, maybe ever. What we need to focus on is keeping the rights we already have, because they (the Left)are coming after them hard, and it seems the right doesn't have much guts.

I think our best hope now is a judicial ruling on carry outside of the home being protected under the 2nd amendment.   Republicans have sure let us down.

I was not thinking of Delaware but rather State’s like New Jersey, Hawaii and California that either don’t issue or rarely do.  Also universal recognition of carry licenses just like driver license.

I do not think at this point Delaware’s laws would be questioned unless they try to go back to restrictive may issue for concealed carry.

Delaware is not a "shall issue state". It is a "may issue state" but thank God few people are turned down, and the ones that are would probably not get a permit in and "shall issue state" because of legal or mental problems in their past.

Who Poo-Poo'd the National Concealed Cary Reciprocity Act? It was Republican Senator Mitch McConnell. He is the gate-keeper to the Senate and has the say as to what bills get brought to the floor for vote. He will still be in office until the 2020 election. Hopefully he will retire or get kicked out by his home state, or at the very least lose the Senate Leader position.
The Constitutional Concealed Carry Reciprocity Act of 2017-18 is dead as a mackerel. With the changes in Congress in the House, I don't look for anything positive on this subject in the next 4 to 6 years at least. Maybe never.
With the Lancaster County PA. Sheriff also Poo-Pooing the non-resident CCL, looks like we are in prison in Delaware with our CCW that few other states accept. This really sucks in my opinion.

Regarding Pennsylvania, there are other counties.  My Lancaster one is due in April, though — so I will have to figure out where to go.  My first one was from York, before switching to Centre County — and then Lancaster.  So, I may call York around March, and go from there. Unless, of course, someone has better advice before then.

I have been getting mine at the Reading Regional Airport, Berks County has a Sheriff's office there. I was in and out quickly. I prepared the paperwork before I left home, didn't sign it until the officer told me to sign. Download the application and make sure to read the hours of operation, they close for several days during the month.

Y'all are missing the point. I know there are other places in PA. to get a permit. Just like there are many other states. The point is , why should we have to? For my own needs there are better states to get a permit in than PA.. For instance VA., Utah, and Texas. Do you realize that to get permits to cover you all over the US you would need permits from at least 14 different states, and still would not be covered in 3 states. It would cost you at least $1000.00, not counting time, gas, postage, finger prints, and certifications.
The point I'm making and the topic of this thread is National Concealed Carry Reciprocity Legislation.  We all want to get a law passed to allow us to get 1 permit to carry nationwide. Whether it is from our state, or one issued by the Federal Government, or just the fact that a Constitutional Carry Law will negate the need for a permit at all. If it were up to me I would opt for the SCOTUS ruling that the 2nd Amendment makes the need of a state permit void. We had the NCCRL at the brink of reality, and the Republicans Majority (Mitch McConnell) not the Democrats (who we know would vote against it) stabbed us in the back, and let it die in the Judiciary Committee, headed by a Republican. And now with the Democrats taking control of the House and the margin slimming at the Senate, it looks like we are back to square one, and set back at least 50 years.
