The new Congress is still weeks away from being sworn in, but one Republican congressman has already written a national concealed carry reciprocity bill to submit to it.

North Carolina Republican Rep. Richard Hudson on Monday released the details of the bill he plans to introduce in the next session. The bill would allow anybody with a valid concealed carry permit from the state they live in to carry a gun in any other state.

“Our Second Amendment right doesn’t disappear when we cross state lines, and I plan to introduce legislation in the first days of the 115th Congress to guarantee that,” Hudson told the Daily Caller. “The Concealed Carry Reciprocity Act of 2017 is a common sense bill to provide law-abiding citizens the right to conceal carry and travel freely between states without worrying about conflicting state codes or onerous civil suits.”

Just imagine.

A country with a border wall that enforces immigration laws, deports illegal aliens, AND enforces 2nd Amendment rights in ALL 50 STATES.

How good is that?

IT's a good first step.

My two biggest remaining problems with it:

It still includes the necessity of paying rent to the government for a revocable permission slip in order to participate in a Constitutional Right.  To me this is no different than when East Germany required registration of typewriters, including providing a sample of typescript (read: ballistic fingerprint, which some people seem to think is a good idea in firearms/owners registration schemes).

and

It doesn't seem to address US territories such as Guam or the Marshall Islands which I am given to understand have terribly restrictive gun laws.
My CCW permit was issued in 1791.

=================================

We don't know how the details will be worked out, but what you mention are certainly central to making it functionally work in all fifty states, including all territories subject to US law.
