House panel to weigh bill expanding gun rights

[Swordsmyth]

The Judiciary Committee is scheduled to vote Wednesday on a National Rifle Association-supported bill that would allow a gun owner with a state-issued concealed carry permit to carry a handgun in any state that allows concealed weapons.
The reciprocity measure would allow gun owners to travel freely between states without worrying about conflicting state laws or "onerous" civil suits, said Rep. Richard Hudson, R-N.C., the bill's sponsor.
The Judiciary panel also is expected to consider legislation to strengthen the FBI database of prohibited gun buyers after the Air Force failed to report the criminal history of the gunman who slaughtered more than two dozen people at a Texas church.
Despite calls by Democrats for tighter gun control, Congress has taken no steps on guns in the weeks following the Oct. 1 shooting in Las Vegas that killed 58 people and the Nov. 5 shooting in Sutherland Springs, Texas.
A bid to ban the "bump stock" device that the Las Vegas shooter used to fire a semi-automatic rifle at near-automatic rates fizzled, even as lawmakers from both parties expressed openness to the idea in the days following the shooting.
Senators from both parties, including the Senate's No. 2 Republican, John Cornyn of Texas, support the background check measure, which would ensure that federal agencies, such as the Defense Department, and states accurately report relevant criminal information to the FBI.

This will be used as a means to kill "Constitutional Carry" while doing little to nothing to help those stuck behind enemy lines in criminal victim zones like Ill-Annoy or New Jerkey.

Count on it.

I don't see how, a state could always let it's own residents or even citizens of other states carry concealed without a license, several "Constitutional Carry" states already offer a license for reciprocity purposes.

Once you allow the fedgov's nose into the tent, they will assert control and "uniformity".

I can see a future congress passing a "Concealed Carry Safety Act" mandating that legal CCW in any state must comply with federal standards set by BATF.

Well they COULD try to pass a National concealed carry law right now for all the respect they give the 10th amendment, they COULD have as part of any of the gun control laws they have passed in the 20th century but they haven't for some reason and I don't think anything has changed that would make it more likely.

And they want to expand NICS...

Should be getting rid of this NRA concoction.

Besides the law, "shall not be infringed", states already perform checks.

At-least get rid of Bush senior's import ban.

Do SOMETHING for $#@!'s sake.
