Merge: Federal Conceal Carry Recognition

I propose that the following 3 policy proposals, about nationwide concealed carry, get merged:

1

Nationwide Conceal Carry Recognition

Recommendation: There should be NATIONWIDE recognition for those U.S. citizens that have a concealed carry license despite the issuing state. Justification: The 2nd Amendment to the U.S. constitution protects the rights of Americans to bear arms. U.S. citizens that completes all of the requirements (i.e., background check, handgun training. etc) - regardless of issuing state - should be permitted to carry concealed nationwide.

Federal conceal carry permits for all legal gun owners

Blue states make it almost impossible for legal gun owners and law abiding citizens to get conceal carry permits. The process takes well over a year. Their cities are being ravaged by crime and blue states prosecute legal gun owners for wanting to protect themselves. A clear 2nd Amendment infringement! The Trump administration should issue federal conceal carry permits to all legal gun owners.

Concealed carry in every state

I live in a blue state where it is impossible to get a concealed carry permit. If i have my registered pistol on my person, i must be in transit to the gun range ONLY. If i stop at wawa on the way and a cop finds the pistol, i am subject to arrest and federal prosecution. This is illegal in my opinion, and contrary to our bill of rights. Every state should alow concealed carry…period!

Explanation & Justification

These three all seem to have the same sentiment for having a Federal Concealed Carry for legal gun owners to be recognized in all states. Since the 2nd Amendment is a constitutional right, it should be recognized nationally (reciprocity between all states). Proposal #1 could be the parent proposal since it is very concise and to the point, but could be hashed out to be a little more detailed on the duties of Federal vs State regulation to be sure it makes sense and is not overburdensome for legal owners and get us in the hole some states are already in.

I agreeto merging topics. The right to protect oneself, and others is a God given right.

[NevadaPatriot (Danielle Tapper)]

Agreed. Commenting to boost.

Fellow law abiding citizens should not fear Legal gun owners. The vast Majority are responsible with them. So in addition to supporting this merged proposal, I advocate a federal effort to deal with the stolen guns, criminals, and those at risk as a more comprehensive effort to solve the problem. Even if that means Ghost guns (I am aware of the law) Enforcement and accountability please
