Let law abiding citizens carry concealed but do a thorough background check. Any future violations should be an indefinate withdrawal of permit

I whole heatedly agree and support this Bill. Anyone who has passed a background check and been granted a concealed carry permit should be valid and legal in any state with concealed carry laws. Your driver's license is recognized in all states. Why not other permits allowing lawful activity? It is also easy to verify the concealed carry permit status by any law enforcement official. This information is provided through DMV at the time your driving status is checked. Law abiding Citizens are the backbone and defense of this Nation. Every Citizen should have the right to exercise self defense against criminals. Criminals do not recognize or abide by any laws on weapons. Call your Senators and push for this Bill to move forward.

When law abiding citizens are stopped from protecting themselves crime has has always florished.The cities with the highest crime have the most restrictive gun laws...Chicago and DC ,just to pick 2. The honest man is a target of opertunity. Letting the honest man carry will be like turning on the light in a room full of cock roaches. I for one think its time to wake up and treat crime like a crime and quit making excuses for the criminal

David-- the USCCA Self-Defense SHIELD program for people who conceal and carry guns is an awesome benefit and can save us a ton of money--especially if we end up having to fire our weapon.

You should have gotten info in your membership welcome kit, including a list of attorneys to contact.

I would like to see this law pass but I agree the constitution is my permit. The Federal Government nor the individual states seem to recognize the constitution any more when it comes to giving us the citizenry any rights when it comes to guns. I truly beleive they have a fear of us being armed. They only seem to be on our side when its an election year. If it passes I beleive lots of states will try to inact laws to counter it to their rules and we will continue having to research each state we are going to visit to ensure compliance. Sad ! Everyone must call their Senators, weigh in on this one, and lets get it done once and for all. Giant step in the right direction.

Well? Is this one going to die in committee in Obama's Senate like the others? I have heard nothing further on its progress. Such a shame. I have to carry no less that seven concealed carry permits just to be able to carry in about 40 states. The others don't recognize my permits one day and then do recognize them the next. It is nuts.

I travel by car/truck and motorcycles through many states and my Texas permit gets me by most everywhere I need to go. Nationwide reciprosity would still be nice.

I CANNOT UNDERSTAND THE HOLD-UP. THESE ARE SUPPOSED TO BE SMART FINE FOLKS,AND THEY DON'T HAVE THE COMMON SENSE OF A JACKASS. PASS THE BILL ALREADY... THE FOLKS IN THE CONGRESS WONDER WHY THEY GET AN F AS A GRADE,, THEY ONLY PRIORITIZE BILLS THAT DIRECTLY BENEFIT THEMSELVES,,,SCREW THE JOHN/JANE DOE,,, UNTIL ONE OF THEIR LOVED ONES GETS CONFRONTED. MORE GOOD PEOPLE WITH ARMS,,, LESS CRIME BY CROOKS...

I see this as a day late and a dollar short, but better late than never. I hope this isn't or doesn't become a trojan horse for national gun registry. I do not trust our government at all anymore, and it seems strange to me that on the brink of a national gun ban that something like this may be approved.

I have to disagree with supporting this bill and agree with Mr. Spence. I've read it and it doesn't do any more than is already in place by existing state laws. I do not want any federal laws regarding concealed carry since it would give them a foot in the door to require more strengent rules to obtain a permit, federal registry, more costly classes, a demonstrated need, etc., etc.... This stinks of Trojan Horse.

I live in Vermont where the right to bear arms is recognized. We have the smallest purcent of violent crimes in the nation. We have no consealed carry laws and no infringement on our our gun rights. That is what this law should be. The constitution is federal and it says we have the right to bear arms in this contry.

I personally would like to see this but can understand why some states have concerns. Here in Washington all you have to do is 1)show up at the sheriff with your application and fee to be fingerprinted and 2) wait to pass the background check. Have you ever touched a gun before? Who knows? Nobody seems to care. Go buy your Kel-Tec, stick it in your purse or pocket and off you go. Do states have the right to have folks demonstrate basic gun safety and shooting skills before they allow them to carry concealed? I think so, but this Federal law would prohibit that. Where are all the "States Rights" advocates? They're all over it if the Federal Government says you have to rent your house to a gay couple or serve people you don't approve of in your public restaurant. Just saying.

I agree that this could be a good thing unless someone has a more sinister plan behind it. It seems the US has just voted for the UN Small Arms Treaty which if enforced will put more restrictions on all law abiding citizens. It's like we're being led with a string and a carrot. I will not purchase any more permits until I see what's really going on.

I note that two Democratic Senators sponsored this bill. That is the first thing that gets the cocked-eyebrow treatment. The second is that Manchin put his name on it.

I am paranoid as all get out regarding the feceral government right now. This may be a ploy to get individual states (as mentioned above) to do the political dirty work.
