H.R.38 - Concealed Carry Reciprocity Act of 2017

[Kaleva]

I don't have any issues with this bill.

" 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.

1. It would save me the hassle of having to get

a separate permit for my neighboring state to the south, which I visit once or twice weekly: dropping my wife off at class, taking classes myself at the junior college, going to dinner, shopping, etc.

2. I'm actually ambivlent

about the constitutionality. BTW, I thought the school zone law was struck down for violating the Commerce Clause.

3. I hope it passes

Don't care about the butt hurt it will cause either. Haters are going to hate regardless.
