Concealed Carry Reciprocity Bill

Oh, man... While I really, really hope this goes through, I won't be holding my breath.
I live in New Jersey. While the state pays lip-service to permitting concealed carry, in practice, it's very rare for a person to receive such a permit (unless they are retired Law Enforcement). However, even as a non-resident, I could get a Florida concealed carry permit. If reciprocity is passed, I'll finally have a realistic means for concealed carry in my home state.
Again, I won't be holding my breath until it looks like this is more likely to pass, but this could be really good news for 2A supporters in NJ."[Mathematics] is the revealer of every genuine truth, for it knows every hidden secret, and bears the key to every subtlety of letters; whoever, then, has the effrontery to pursue physics while neglecting mathematics should know from the start he will never make his entry through the portals of wisdom."
--Thomas Bradwardine, De Continuo (c. 1325)

You do not feel that the states have a right to govern themselves with respect to this matter?Last edited by robrecht; 01-14-2017, 02:24 PM.אָכֵ֕ן אַתָּ֖ה אֵ֣ל מִסְתַּתֵּ֑ר אֱלֹהֵ֥י יִשְׂרָאֵ֖ל מוֹשִֽׁיעַ׃

Would you prefer that your state-issued driver's license be honored only in the state in which you reside / it was issued?The first to state his case seems right until another comes and cross-examines him.

Originally posted by robrecht View PostIs there a strict constructionist reading of the Second Amendment regarding concealed carry? If I recall correctly, you do not believe that anyone convicted of a crime using a handgun should retains the right to bear arms--that too would contradict such a strict constructionist reading of the 2nd amendment.

Originally posted by Cow Poke View PostThe state that issued the carry license, upon notification that the licensee has committed a crime worthy of revocation of the license, would obviously revoke the license, and the reciprocity would be moot - there wouldn't be any.אָכֵ֕ן אַתָּ֖ה אֵ֣ל מִסְתַּתֵּ֑ר אֱלֹהֵ֥י יִשְׂרָאֵ֖ל מוֹשִֽׁיעַ׃

Originally posted by robrecht View PostSo you would allow for states to issue carry licences? Why?
If it is an all-pervasive federal right guaranteed by the 2nd Amendment to the US Constitution, why would the states have any right or role whatsoever in the issuance of any licensees?The first to state his case seems right until another comes and cross-examines him.
