This bill makes sense so I bet those lazy fat, thieving, lying, self-centered,morons on capital hill won't vote yes for it. If that &%$#@!*&*^%$ Pelosi and other nimrods have their way they would take all guns away from us and then only the crooks (them) will have guns. I have called my senator and rep several times concerning this bill, so please contact yours and tell them to vote YES 2009-02-17T17:05:00Z tag:opencongress.org,2009-02-17:/comment/87762 Euclid_543 The natural right of a human being to defend theirselves makes this a perfectly logical bill. Too bad we have to have individual laws when our 2nd Amendment rights have already been "certified" by the Supreme Court. 2009-10-13T13:53:28Z tag:opencongress.org,2009-10-13:/comment/140948 deanfisher Nothing can possibly have the possitive effect on homeland security as a large percentage of responsible citizens with CCW permits. Talk about criminals and terrorists shaking in their boots. Let me ask you this...if you knew that 40% of responsible citizens carried with CCW, would you think twice befor mistreating any one of them. 2009-02-19T14:02:26Z tag:opencongress.org,2009-02-19:/comment/88465 Anonymous this law does not give Congress or the federal government the right to set law on right to carry. it says the just like states recognize a drivers license from other states and that the drive has a right to drive a car while in the other state. This bill states that a state must recognize the right of an individual to carry in a conceal maner even if that state does not issue conceal carry permits.this law would in effect defeat the opression of denying conceal carry in states becuase their citizens could get a CCP in another state and thier home state would HAVE TO HONOR IT!!!!!!!DC residents could get a CCP in Virginia and DC could not prevent them from carrying on DC streets. It's a beautiful Law.Hope it passes 2009-07-22T08:18:50Z tag:opencongress.org,2009-07-22:/comment/114615 JohnF Not the case. The CCW would have to issued by your home state. Currently I have a NV and UT permit. I will no longer need my UT permit as UT will be required to respect my NV permit. For my friends in CA, there is not a snowball's chance that CA will issue them a permit so their only option will be to permit each state individually and not carry in their home state. Their NV, UT, FL permit will not be honored in CA as they are a CA residents. 2009-10-13T13:44:47Z tag:opencongress.org,2009-10-13:/comment/140934 deanfisher JohnF California does have CCW permits. The county that I live in has about 1400 of them. We are looking forward to this legislation being revived. 2009-10-02T11:29:34Z tag:opencongress.org,2009-10-02:/comment/133736 mywhitehouse All of these clowns are corrupt, that is why they don't have a Corruption Elimination Bill, please sign our petition. The right is only mad because the left now has the control of the corruption. All this effort and none on the true problem.

I question anything that gives us permission to something we already have a right too, anything that makes legal what is already legal, and anything that makes illegal what is already illegal. What am I not understanding? Better yet....what are our congressional employee's not understanding? But hey, if it keeps me from having to pull over and put my clip in the trunk inorder to be "law abiding" in every other state I travel through...then carry on! 2009-09-12T13:02:09Z tag:opencongress.org,2009-09-12:/comment/125250 janetharper AMEN 2009-08-23T16:47:25Z tag:opencongress.org,2009-08-23:/comment/120938 Margiefeet The only thing I can find on HB 1388 is the Edward Kennedy Service act.

Oh, no money in it for weapons makers. sorry constitutional amendments allow us to have weapons and the states to regulate them. why is this bill needed????? 2009-07-30T21:14:26Z tag:opencongress.org,2009-07-30:/comment/115985 apache01 Well, first and foremost, any way the Federal government can take something like this OUT of the hands of the people, and their respectives states, then the Federal government can always over rule any decision than any state judge makes in court if it ever comes to that. Since the Supreme Court Justices are nominated by the President, and voted on by each representative panel after inquisition, then the Supreme Courts rulings would be final. It's simply to sway the tide more to their favor no matter what their political affiliation party. And yes, Drivers license are a priveledge, but so are licenses to carry a concealed weapon. Not everyone who can legally go buy a gun, can get a CWP! So it's a priveldege as well. : ) 2009-07-28T14:37:12Z tag:opencongress.org,2009-07-28:/comment/115706 wbg2271 Why is this a issue about undermining state rights. The second ammendment takes it out of the hands of the states. The state and the people have a say in anything not covered in the constitution or the bill of rights.( 10nth ammendment) This has nothing to do with a drivers license. The license to drive is a privelage which is a far cry from a consitutional right. 2009-07-24T14:18:37Z tag:opencongress.org,2009-07-24:/comment/115106 intruder09 Keep your chins up my fellow law abiding concealed carry comrades!S.845 was barely defeated by 2 lousy votes!

The committees don't have my Congress people so I don't have any clout writing someone else's Congress reps. 2009-07-22T09:17:08Z tag:opencongress.org,2009-07-22:/comment/114631 JohnF How does it infringe? It makes you comply with the state law from the state you are in not from the issuing state. It is just like the driver's license. The catch-all provisions put restrictions in place for a state that has not enacted or repealed legislation regarding CCW's. If the state has laws regarding restrictions, the state laws trump the federal catch-all wording. I am not aware of any state where this wording would be relevant.
