Most concealed-carry permit holders understand the potential pitfalls of traveling with a firearm, given the outrageous patchwork of state laws involved in even a short interstate trip. And while we haven’t posted much about reciprocity of late, important national concealed-carry reciprocity legislation is still in play and needs your help now to gain passage.

According to a recent update from NRA-ILA, U.S. Rep. Rob Goodlatte, R-Va., who is chairman of the House Judiciary Committee, has signed on as a co-sponsor for the Concealed Carry Reciprocity Act of 2017. H.R. 38 now has 212 co-sponsors, and according to NRA-ILA, its prospects in the House are looking better each week.

Of course, you wouldn’t know that from reading or listening to the so-called “mainstream” media, who have declared the measure a danger to the nation. And you wouldn’t know it from Michael Bloomberg and his gun-ban minions, who have recently proclaimed victory and declared the measure dead.

If that were the case, you'd have 2 different sets of laws. One for residents and another for non-resident permit holders.

If this bill were to pass, and I don't think it will, it will be declared un-Constitutional in about 10 minutes.

On the other hand, it would be fun to watch the most liberal jurists and their allies magically turning into "states rights" advocates.

Twelve states currently have unrestricted concealed-carry laws. Just about anyone in those states, regardless of mental health status and criminal background, can pack a pistol.
