It&#8217;s the same law that West Virginia&#8217;s Joe Manchin introduced before his re-election in 2012, but seemed to abandon in the wake of the Sandy Hook murders, although concealed carry laws didn&#8217;t come into play in that tragedy. Our favorite Second Amendment journalist, Emily Miller at the <a href=\"http:\/\/www.washingtontimes.com\/news\/2014\/jan\/15\/concealed-carry-gun-reciprocity-2014-bill-senate\/\">Washington Times<\/a> reports;<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>Anti-gun activists have attempted to make Mr. Cornyn\u2019s bill seem extremist.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThere\u2019s some scaremongering going on out there, but it\u2019s pretty straightforward,\u201d he said. \u201cIt\u2019s like a driver\u2019s license. It doesn\u2019t trump state laws. Say you have a carry permit in Texas; then you use it in another state that has a concealed-carry law.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>This popular, common-sense legislation is necessary because the current system is totally convoluted. Each state decides which permits from other states it recognizes as lawful, and some recognize none.<\/p>\n<p>Gun owners are stuck doing extensive legal research to travel, but they can still get caught in the thicket. Mr. Cornyn said, \u201cThere are some jurisdictions like to play \u2018gotcha.\u2019\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>I&#8217;m pretty sure that the bill will go no where because even it makes it through the Senate and the House, there&#8217;s no way the President will allow even a small victory for those of us who lawfully own and use guns.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Texas Senator John Cornyn has revived the national concealed carry law to standardize permits for lawful &hellip; <a title=\"Constitutional Concealed Carry Reciprocity Act back in the Senate\" class=\"hm-read-more\" href=\"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/?p=39332\"><span class=\"screen-reader-text\">Constitutional Concealed Carry Reciprocity Act back in the Senate<\/span>Read more<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[156],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-39332","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-guns"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/39332","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=39332"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/39332\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=39332"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=39332"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=39332"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
