Yeah... NO. Not realistic. Won't happen. Won't even get brought up.
National concealed carry only works if gun/magazine bans are gone too. Otherwise if I traveled to MA with my FNS9 with 17+1 I'd get my visit extended by 2.5 years times the number of 17 round mags I have.
Or I have to base what I travel with on the most restrictive jurisdiction I pass through.
Federal law is the wrong way to do this. They'll take on rubbish. Was FOPA worth the Hughes amendment? NO! Keep the feds out of it except to slap down anti-2A laws in court.
With a Trump presidency and Republican controlled House and Senate, will we see this come to fruition? I'm always leery of new Federal laws, but damn it, shouldn't the Second Amendment allow us to carry anywhere in the USA?!
I'm sure many liberal cesspool states would fight (and arrest) on this after it passed, but soon enough the courts would smack them down and they'd have to comply. And at long last I could drive to my in-laws in NJ with my carry.
I don't need a permit to carry a gun right now and I certainly don't want the Feds issuing me one. Giving the Feds power to LIMIT anything is bad and you are effectively doing just that. Who the hell wants a federal suitability statute? Think that won't bite you in the ass?

It's hard for me to believe that there are some here that think national concealed carry would be somehow worse than the current set of hodge podge laws? Ask the poor woman from PA that was abused by the state of NJ or any number of people abused by NY City laws what they think of the current situation. If the second amendment means anything, if it's a 'right' that you can freely exercise, state borders shouldn't matter, and that is the real fight, isn't it? Concealed carry is that fight.

Surprised that so few individuals have read Trump's white paper on the 2A which addresses this (and magazine capacity too, among other things):

This. I'm not counting on it, but there is some hope nowCorrect me if I'm wrong, the great victory last night is Trump nominating 2 or 3 Supreme Court Justices. Everything else seems secondary to that.
Get the SC to finally defend the constitution and strike down unconstitutional laws. We don't need more laws and bigger government.
Not talking about a national license. I'd be completely opposed to that. I'm talking reciprocity. Think along same lines as my MA driver's license being honored in other states.
Here's the problem with National/Federally mandated CCW
Its not constitutional
Its a "Bad Idea" for all the same reasons that the supreme court ruling in Heller/McDonald that RKBA was what we all know it to be
It gives the fed gov power over that right
The Heller decision was not a negative. Read Scalia's decision. It's a great read and you don't have to be a lawyer to understand it - for the most part. The decision ' incorporated' the 2nd amendment as a fundamental right. What we as citizens have to do is demand that basic right in the courts and legislatures That's the game, and the field it'll be played, on whether it's the way we want it or not.
