So why does the NRA back it?
H.R. 822: National Right-to-Carry Reciprocity Act of 2011 - Legislative Digest - GOP.gov
Read over the amendments attached to this bill. This is not something that we want passed.
Pay close attention to amendments 4, 6, and 8.
#4: A national data base of all permit holders?
#6: Live fire training?
#8: Notify a state that you plan on being there and carrying?
I don't know about you all but I don't want to notify the police that I will be traveling to there state with my gun.
What about people who work across the state line? You gonna call them every day and say here I come?

Glad it passed. Some are unhappy because it has no allowance for states like VT that do not require a license and support a constitutional view. That said, I'd like to see it passed. It would be "better" than what we have now.
Because the NRA has an agenda of passing legislation? The emails I get from them don't even explain the bill at all, they just trash everyone who opposes it. I also don't like organizations telling me what bills I want or should support. If I like it, I will support it. Not because others tell me what I should think.
This bill would do nothing to reverse State infringements of the 2A.
It would placate many pro-2A folks and anger the antis with a transparent "win", but in doing so would solidify the idea that the Right to keep and bear arms is fair game for regulation and/or restriction at every level of government.
That's no right at all.
I disagree. This sends a clear message that American demand to be allowed to CC without undue impediment.
Obama wouls never sign it - it would really **** off his whacko base

Nothing is too strong.
Under 822 I can carry in Oregon, South Carolina and New York, unlike now...
the constitutional requirement that states have to recognize the official acts of other states
I wonder why this approach is necessary?
