Haven’t seen any posts on this. Looks like they are voting this week. Contact your Reps!!
So, if I’m reading this correctly, this will allow PA residents, with a valid cc permit, to carry in NYC?
Concealed Carry Reciprocity Act of 2017
This bill amends the federal criminal code to allow a qualified individual to carry a concealed handgun into or possess a concealed handgun in another state that allows individuals to carry concealed firearms.
A qualified individual must: (1) be eligible to possess, transport, or receive a firearm under federal law; (2) carry a valid photo identification document; and (3) carry a valid concealed carry permit issued by, or be eligible to carry a concealed firearm in, his or her state of residence.
Additionally, the bill specifies that a qualified individual who lawfully carries or possesses a concealed handgun in another state: (1) is not subject to the federal prohibition on possessing a firearm in a school zone, and (2) may carry or possess the concealed handgun in federally owned lands that are open to the public.
The thing is once it goes national can reps in NY and CA dictate the terms of those who are allowed to carry? That’s what I worry about. I already have reciprocity in something like 40 states- the other ten I could care less about anyway. Hell I won’t even go to states that are predominately democrat because I’m not interested in spending money with them.
That was pretty much what the guy was getting at. I can’t seem to find it again, but it had something to do with them endorsing a “fix” for the NICS system.
Apparently Feinstein and Schumer are trying to combine HR 38 with one of their gun control bills (HR 4477). If the NRA is trying to torpedo it, that’s most likely why.
This, Feinstein and uncle Chucky are trying to piggy back HR4477 with HR38 as a “Fix NICS” bill that would also allow the VA and other non-judicial organizations to effectively ban people from owning firearms if they have things like PTSD etc. My explanation is simplified but the gist of the measure they are pushing. GOA had a good editorial on it.
There were other bills going through the works to accomplish this same thing, but at least two of the other bills were specifically worded so that a person didn’t need to be a resident of the state that granted the permit. In other words, a resident of CA or NY could get a permit from UT or FL, and it would have to be honored in their own state.
Can’t remember the name/numbers of these other versions, but I stopped hearing about them right after the Vegas thing.
I still hope this one passes. When it does, and the sky doesn’t fall, then maybe we can do another one that would allow people with non-resident permits to carry at home too. This would effectively go right around the gun-banners, and end some of their tyranny.
Your post made me go re-read the original text of the law from post number one in this thread:
"Concealed Carry Reciprocity Act of 2017

Specifically looking at #3: “(3) carry a valid concealed carry permit issued by, or be eligible to carry a concealed firearm in, his or her state of residence.”
I am completely eligible to carry in my home state, but the county I live in refuses to issue a permit to me because they are a bunch of lefty commie A-Holes. Counties all around me and all over the state issue, but not my county. The way this bill is worded makes it sound like a person doesn’t even have to have a CCW permit, but only needs to be eligible to carry a concealed firearm in their state of residence. To me, eligible = Over 21, not a felon, not under any restraining orders, not adjudicated mentally ill in a court of law. Maybe add in the requirement that some states have to take and pass a 16 hour CCW course? If I’m interpreting this correctly, any person meeting these requirements can carry concealed in any state with no permit at all if this new bill passes.
Anyone care to show me how I’m wrong? Am I missing something?

Has the American Suppressor Association been repeatedly responsible for saving the 2A and gaining ground back for the 2A crowd for the last couple of decades? Has the ASA been fighting liberal gun bans all over the country for decades? When lefty gun ban after lefty gun bans fail time and time again, do the lefties blame the ASA for their failure? Does every commie politician in this country get on the tube and complain about how powerful the ASA is?
There is one organization standing between them and your guns. They are not perfect and never will be, but without them, we’d all be subjects, or in the middle of Civil War II. Sign up man. If its a money thing, I’ll loan you the $35. Take as long as you want to pay me back.
It’s not a money thing. I used to be a member and got fed up with them constantly begging for more money while at the same time sending out truckloads of useless bull**it that nobody really wants.
They profit off of fear, never really making an attempt to take the offensive, because without that fear they’re irrelevant.
After what they pulled with the bump stock issue I’ll donate to PETA before I give them a penny.
