What does Virginia do?

The same rules for carry apply to conceal or open carry in Virginia. Just one requires a license. Our state laws say where we cannot carry. We cannot carry on school grounds unless we are in a car and have a CHP, and the gun is concealed, and we do not get out of the car (just dropping off a kid).

I have not heard of that act actually being "enforced" here. Others may know different.

The fact that a law may not be regularly enforced, or is enforced sporadically and capriciously, does not mean it won't be enforced actively tomorrow. The GFSZ law requires a permit issued by the state in which the school is located. That's one of the major problems with ALL reciprocity -- even what we currently think of as "good" reciprocity.

That's been one of the key points on this thread from the beginning? That federal reciprocity can't be enforced, and is ineffective. Are we actually going anywhere new here?
 
Congratulations, I'm happy for you. And reciprocity will keep going great for you until you get about 35 states, when it comes to a dead halt. Then you're in the same boat as FL, TX, UT, etc.
 
I'm not so defeatist. There will be so much pressure on those remaining states from their citizens that it will be a matter of time. If the citizens actually don't want reciprocity, then my boat don't sail there anyway. Their loss :D
 
It all sounds good at first, but I'm absolutely against it. People in states that requires 40 hours of gun safety training and hands on range fire testing might get upset that outsiders aren't obliged to endure the same level of assessment. In time, pressure would come from the states and federal government to "standardize" the requirements for carry. Do we really want the federal government to take this control? Since 2A is a constitutional right (unlike driving, which is only a privilege), all states need to enact constitutional carry.

I'm also against it. I absolutely do not want the fed involved in any more gun legislation, period. Stop and look at what we have now. The fed gov't can't manage their budget, natural disasters, immigration, veterans benefits, health care, education and a truck load of other things to numerous to mention. Just leave the states alone and if people who live in those sates want CC they will get it. Believe it or not most manage it very well. And if they don't I have no reason to travel or live in those states.
 
Somebody tell me one thing, just one, that the federal government got involved in that wasn't totally over regulated and totally screwed up.

The thing to remember here is guys, if you don't like the laws of the state that you're in, either effect change to the laws through the democratic process or move to a state that has laws that you agree with.

Spending money like no one else, and blaming it on a too low debt ceiling??? Lol



Yeah, I am all for states honoring concealed permits like DLs, however I think fed involvement would just be plain wrong... To me their involvement is quite well delineated in the 2A. What worries me more than anything about a federal regulation is the simple fact of the millions of constituents that congress represents as well as the billions of dollars in corporate backers etc. There are just far too many variables to have any kind of good outcome for either side, especially ours.
 
True....

I agree with the last few posts. The same folks behind the FEMA response to Katrina(2005) & the more recent Healthcare.gov debacle are not going to roll out a "great" plan for CCW/concealed carry nationwide.

What was that popular quote from the Gipper?...
"The words most citizens fear most are; I'm from the federal government & Im here to help."

:D
 
Everyone's had a chance to make their argument, and there are some good ones. This one's beginning to drift, though, so let's close it before it goes too far off the reservation.
