| 2007-02-26 |
| Hat tip: InstaPundit. Edited for brevity. IN THE HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES February 6, 2007 Mr. STEARNS (for himself and Mr. BOUCHER) introduced the following bill; which was referred to the Committee on the Judiciary --------------------------------------------------------------- A BILL To amend title 18, United States Code, to provide a national standard in accordance with which nonresidents of a State may carry concealed firearms in the State. Full text at link, and more background on bill here. This fine piece of legislation introduced by Rep. Clifford Stearns (R-FL) and co-sponsored by Rep. Frederick Boucher (D-VA) basically states: If you have a CC permit issued from your home state, you can carry legally in any other state that issues CC permits, i.e. full reciprocity among states that issue CCLs. Note however: A state that does not issue CC permits to its own residents will certainly not honor your state's permit. |

| #1 Let's hope this bill makes it through the Congressional swamps to become law. It's badly needed and long overdue. |
