    Any other licensing issued by one state is recognized by other states, except this one. That is a gross abuse of our civil rights.

    NJ has draconic gun control laws that punish law abiding citizens with felonies should they have to take a pee break on the way to the range. NJ’s hurdles to get a gun are actually ok with me but the transport and carry laws are ridiculous and push this moderate to the right (just so the law can land in the middle)

    This bill forces concealed carry into areas that do not want concealed carry. What happened to the conservatives who favor Federalism and local control?

    This is the way our forefathers intended things to be. Without the 2A no other amendments are sure to stay!

    I’ve voiced my opinion on this previously but it’s worth voicing it again. I live in Mississippi, a free state, where I can and do legally carry a concealed firearm just about everywhere I go, especially if my family is with me. I’m originally from Maryland, a not so free state. When I travel to see family, I have to leave my ability to protect myself and my family at home or risk a felony if caught. That is unacceptable. The constitution is clear on this right. Vote yes on this bill!

    Like a drivers license recognizes my ability to drive safely in all states. My right to carry safely and follow the carry laws of each sate should be recognized.

    Only if there is a reasonable national standard. This dumbs down the concealed carry to the lowest common denominator. It ignores a states right to set minimum standards for concealed carry
