Reply #21: Hmm...if HR822 passes, wouldn't IT be a federal law that supersedes state laws? [View All]

At which point she would apparently be OK with it.

BTW, has she (and you) actually read it? Or is she just a bit...dim?

"...
‘Sec. 926D. Reciprocity for the carrying of certain concealed firearms
‘(a) Notwithstanding any provision of the law of any State or political subdivision thereof, related to the carrying or transportation of firearms, a person who is not prohibited by Federal law from possessing, transporting, shipping, or receiving a firearm, and who is carrying a government-issued photographic identification document and a valid license or permit which is issued pursuant to the law of a State and which permits the person to carry a concealed firearm, may carry a concealed handgun (other than a machinegun or destructive device) that has been shipped or transported in interstate or foreign commerce, in any State, other than the State of residence of the person, that-
‘(1) has a statute that allows residents of the State to obtain licenses or permits to carry concealed firearms; or
‘(2) does not prohibit the carrying of concealed firearms by residents of the State for lawful purposes.

‘(b) A person carrying a concealed handgun under this section shall be permitted to carry a handgun subject to the same conditions or limitations that apply to residents of the State who have permits issued by the State or are otherwise lawfully allowed to do so by the State.

‘(c) In a State that allows the issuing authority for licenses or permits to carry concealed firearms to impose restrictions on the carrying of firearms by individual holders of such licenses or permits, a firearm shall be carried according to the same terms authorized by an unrestricted license or permit issued to a resident of the State.

‘(d) Nothing in this section shall be construed to preempt any provision of State law with respect to the issuance of licenses or permits to carry concealed firearms.

So what exactly is she (and you) yapping about??

Wondering - is it section (c) that has her (and you) all worked up over nothing? Hmm..."individual restrictions"...if so, then it seems that Karen is fine having certain speed limits set for certain people, while others are subject to different limits? Makes ya wonder - why would anyone want such a system? (cough*elitism*cough*corporate-controlled-state*cough*corruption*cough*controlthepeople*cough).


"This bill would force local authorities to know every other state's laws and honor them when coming into contact with out-of-state residents."

Calling QUITE OBVIOUS bullshit (and fear-mongering bullshit at that) on this right here..try reading the law!! It is pleasantly simple to understand.



Anway, I first posted in your other thread that this type of bill has never passed before, so I don't think the odds are that good it will pass this time...but I have since been informed that there is a really good chance it might, so we shall see.
