It's about time Congress stepped in to allow law-abiding citizens the right
to carry their personal defense weapon across state lines.
Fox
News<http://www.foxnews.com/politics/2011/09/13/house-weighs-bill-to-make-gun-permits-valid-across-state-lines/?test=latestnews>reports:
Lawmakers are considering a House bill that would give Americans who hold
permits to carry firearms in their home states the right to carry their
weapons across state lines.
Although many states have entered into voluntary agreements, there is no
nationwide framework for honoring permits and licenses uniformly. *A
bipartisan bill, co-authored by Reps. Cliff Stearns, R-Fla., and Heath
Shuler, D-N.C., aims to change that. *
Finally. Bipartisanship I can get behind.
Supporters say the measure would not create a federal licensing system, but
*would require that all states recognize lawfully issued permits --
regardless of where they were issued.* Gun rights advocacy groups say it's
the only way to make sure that lawful gun owners' Second
Amendment<http://www.foxnews.com/topics/politics/second-amendment.htm#r_src=ramp>
rights
are guaranteed when they travel away from their home states.
But opponents say the bill tramples on each state's autonomy to set the
standards legislators believe are necessary to confront local problems. Foes
also said that the law could allow violent offenders to hold on to their
weapons.
These opponents are liberals from liberal states where the crime rates are
generally higher. They enjoy allowing criminals to carry guns but seem to
enjoy passing laws that prohibit law-abiding citizens the rights to defend
themselves evenmore.
