If the state law restricts WHERE in that state I can or cannot legally carry, it becomes no different than the places that have signage now in the state in which I reside

They do it now, they will do it even to a greater degree (in those states where the restrictions are high), yet now you will also have the Feds involved

Once they are involved they NEVER go away - they only expand their involvement and then try to fit their insane "one size fits all" mentality - which is why nothing they do ever works. What's good in one area is not in another.
 
+1 on the Board of Education being an example of exactly why we don't want the Feds messing with gun rights.

The Board of Education has been so misused. At times it was almost turned into a propoganda machine, dictating what would be taught concerning homosexuality, abortion, and religion. At times it's been a force to try to change the history curriculum in our schools to cover less Northern European history and more Native American, South and Central American and African history. At other times it has been used as a force to expand the power of the NEA and AFT teachers' unions. You never know when it will run amok again.

I don't think the law will pass but if it does it amounts to an accural of power to the federal governmnet. If they can create this law - then they can modify it, mess with it, create others that deal with this same right. I don't think they should have the power to mess with it period.
 
But that's an assumption. I can't imagine the NRA backing a bill that would be bad for gun owners. No, I don't believe everything I read but I'm not an alarmist calling for the Federal government's disbanding either. A bunch of people who live, work,and travel in my area echo the sentiments. We live in very close proximity to VERY restrictive states. As it stands now, if someone doesn't step in, we are basically forced to leave our handguns at home if we feel like going for a drive to see the kids grandparents in MA. So, restrict if you must. It won't be any worse than what we go through now anyway. And it will allow us to stop in to get an ice cream in RI on the way to MA while still being able to carry legally. We are not in the center of a large state where we don't have a need to leave it. It is absolute nonsense that my right to carry to protect myself stops 30 miles from my house. It is also nonsense that I can be issued a carry permit and 30 miles up the road, some will be denied a carry permit because he/she doesn't own a business(basically one of the only ways to get a carry permit in RI). And forget MA! That's the reason I moved to CT!

Probably due to the fact that demographics have changed more than anything.
 
Not sure how it went awry. What was the downside? Where were the negatives?

The completely rewritten, PC version of history in this country? The way the current and last few admins have accelerated the usurpation of power?

Soon CCW rules will be handled from the Federal level - and with this current admin, that would mean taking the most restrictive stances from every state to make it national policy - maybe they would still allow us to carry in our homes, but only if the gun was unloaded and secured so kids couldn't get it - types of restrictions...............

Or do you REALLY believe the statement: "Hi, I'm from the Federal Government and I'm here to help you"????
 
History is written by the victors. True or not.
How much gov is too much? How much is too little? Who decides? Why is it that residents of one state get more freedoms than others? Are we not all Americans? Shouldn't we all be entitled to the same rights? If the fed gov passes a law that says my carry permit is good in any state, in effect trumping the state that says no you can't, I go with the gov. Popular with this forum or not.
 
Legislating it from the fed level amounts to an aggregation of power at the federal level.

I'd rather that 50 states have the freedom to be jackasses (I live in one of those states)

The people who live in those states can try to find remedy in the courts or work locally to fix things, but God save us from do-gooding Washington legislators.

If something like this ever did become law, a few states would line up to challenge it - California and Illinois for sure.

Don't like the rules in your state? VOTE THEM OUT
You can't displace some Federal "czar", and once they pass a law, it is extremely hard to "unpass" it

you sound very young, and like I said, probably never had a civics class - they don't teach that anymore
 
Its not my state I need to vote out. If you read my posts you will see that I am in CT and already have a carry permit. It's the other states I have the problem with. And I did have a civics class. Back in high school which I graduated in '90. Also served 12 years in USMC. Didn't go to college but my daughter is in her second year So no whippersnapper here. I find your assumptions about me that you gathered, not even reading my posts, humorous in the least. Because someone disagrees with your opinion, it sure doesn't mean they are wet behind the ears. Read someone's posts before commenting on them. It helps when you want to have a meaningful discussion.

wow, you graduated high school in 90?...........nice to see your youth here

and you ARE wet behind the ears young man - I read your BS, and it is wrong, misguided, and full of "hope and change"
which in reality, doesn't happen

but I am glad YOUR rose-colored glasses have blocked your view of reality

Before you accuse ME or anyone else, first - grow up

then gather your FACTS and we will have a meaningful discussion
 
Perhaps before you start a personal attack on a member of this forum, you might consider consider that with age comes wisdom, and after that, senility. I wonder wich stage you are in. Holding to your views in the face of reality just means the world has passed you by. Not exactly sure what you think I accused you or any member of this forum of. But again, I may have to chalk that up to your age.
 
When we get to the point we have to argue personalities, instead of the issues,

Out Go The Lights.

Say Goodnight, Gracie....
