The bill, which has some bi-partisan support, clarifies the mess of regulations that law-abiding citizens must navigate when they travel across the country.<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>\u201cAll I\u2019m saying is, when I cross the state line, I don\u2019t want to automatically become a criminal,\u201d [Rep. Richard Hudson, R-N.C.] said.<\/p>\n<p>The three-term congressman also is quick to point out the measure does not attempt to usurp state and local authority with federal law, nor does it ease background checks on gun purchases.<\/p>\n<p>The bill has 213 cosponsors, including three Democrats, and backing from 24 state attorneys general.<\/p>\n<p>Hudson has tried for several years to get his Concealed Carry Reciprocity Act passed and scored a victory several days ago when it got through the House Judiciary Committee. <\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>The bill may get to a vote tomorrow. I&#8217;m sure my Senator, Joe Manchin will support the bill when it gets to that House, seein&#8217;s how he introduced it in the Senate just prior to his new-found friendship with Chuck Schumer and before the Newtown tragedy.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Fox News reports that a bill to make it easier to carry concealed weapons across state &hellip; <a title=\"Concealed carry bill moving towards a vote\" class=\"hm-read-more\" href=\"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/?p=76331\"><span class=\"screen-reader-text\">Concealed carry bill moving towards a vote<\/span>Read more<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":58222,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[156],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-76331","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-guns"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/76331","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=76331"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/76331\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/media\/58222"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=76331"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=76331"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=76331"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
