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.
