The Republicans have submitted a bill that would allow US citizens to carry weapons concealed in all 50 states if they had complied with the laws within their own state, according to The Hill<\/a>. Once again. My Senator, Joe Manchin, submitted the same bill before the 2012 election – it went no where. After the election, Manchin tried to help Chuck Schumer and the rest when they tried to do a backdoor federal firearm registration bill. So, I’m not real hopeful for this bill, which will probably be vetoed at the White House if it gets through the legislative process;<\/p>\n

Gun control groups say the bill poses a significant danger for society at a time when lawmakers should be strengthening background checks to address recent shootings.<\/p>\n

\u201cFederally imposed concealed carry laws interfere with states\u2019 fundamental right to determine who is too dangerous to carry hidden, loaded guns in public,\u201d Everytown for Gun Safety President John Feinblatt told The Hill.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

In that case, each state should test drivers from out of state who try to pass through. Same concept. If my state has determined that I’m a law abiding member of society, who is, Maryland, for example to say I’m not. I live ten miles from Maryland, so I guess as soon as I pass over the Potomac, I get the urge to shoot up some public assemblage of poor innocent Marylanders caught unaware.<\/p>\n

By the way, Maryland also has pretty stringent driver testing standards compared to West Virginia, too. You have to wait nine months after you pass the written test to take the driving test and you have to take a driver’s training course and show proof of your training. In West Virginia, you take your written test and then wait a month to take the driving test. So, how does Maryland get away with letting me drive in their state since I didn’t meet their driving test standard.<\/p>\n

I don’t carry a weapon in Maryland, by the way, because they’d punish me as if I were a real criminal if they caught me. Since I don’t go anywhere without a firearm, I don’t go to Maryland and spend my money, either. I can carry a weapon in Virginia, so I drive 50 miles to do my shopping rather than the more convenient ten miles. Maryland’s loss. Oh, yeah gas is about $.25\/gallon cheaper in Virginia, too.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
