Link: What Donald Trump's 'Concealed Carry Reciprocity' Means for Gun Rights

...Trump spelled out his intention to change the law in a 2023 speech, stating: "I will protect the right of self-defense everywhere it is under siege. And I will sign concealed carry reciprocity. Your second amendment does not end at the state line."...

Amen. And amen. Although easier said than done, with a razor-thin majority in the House. I'll be cheering him on every step of the way.

Interesting point. I guess Trump now has a motivation to get rid of that stupid law and replace it with something that makes sense.

I'm thinking that the next 4473 he fills out will be his first. He doesn't strike me as gun enthusiast. I've never heard of him pursuing shooting sports. I doubt he really cares if he can own or carry a gun or not.

He's got whole ass gunthugs to protect his life, liberty, and property, and he's making us pay for them.

I'm genuinely appreciative of the fact that he's finally deigned to allow me to use the money I have left to provide for my own protection.

A broken clock is right twice a day. Bless his heart, Trump's trying to catch up,

I'm happy to complete any state requirement for classes, background check, safe storage, etc, as long as they actually do issue a non-resident CCW.

Yeah. Requiring a permit to carry a weapon in public is unconstitutional, but at least the States that legally require local LEO to issue them and honor out-of-state permits are trying to honor the law. Worth noting there's only a handful of countries on Earth with shall-issue gun own/carry permits, but residents of those countries enjoy better gun rights than the majority of American citizens.

You're right, requiring a permit is unconstitutional. Getting reciprocity is a step in the right direction, however, if we can't outright ban prohibitions.

I feel safer already. The more people carrying guns, the fewer gun deaths. So simple. Why haven’t our European cousins figured this out?

Not gonna lie, I may want 50 State Constitutional Carry, but I will happily settle for shall-issue and full faith and credit for out-of-state permits. It's not constitutionally correct under American law, but I was seriously considering expatriating in 2016 and there were a handful of countries whose gun laws I considered adequate (even for a resident alien) and almost as importantly, not endangered.

Even less so, now, with the war in Ukraine. If not for my family, I'd be more tempted today than I was eight years ago.
 
Shouldn't we just leave it up to the states?
 
So the state with the most lenient law is the one we will all conform to.

What if Alaska (some state) decides that 12 years olds can legally pack heat in public without a permit.

:unsure:

Like freedom of speech and religion, and all those other pesky constitutional rights?

If it is already a constitutional right, why do we need more legislation???

Where do you get your information?

www.bbc.com

Can Trump run for president as a convicted felon?

Donald Trump has been convicted on 34 counts of falsifying business records. So what happens next?
www.bbc.com www.bbc.com

The US Constitution sets out relatively few eligibility requirements for presidential candidates: they must be at least 35, be a “natural born” US citizen and have lived in the US for at least 14 years. There are no rules blocking candidates with criminal records.

Because, like every other Constitutional right, the American people and their elected representatives don't think it means what it says if it says they can't do whatever they want.
