I'm still not sold on this. Never mind the obvious issue I have with the Feds getting involved at all, the states that are the reason for this type of thing like MA are going to fight it and in the mean time disregard it and stop every NH plated vehicle with a Sig or NRA sticker on the window. Even if they lost in court, I'd bet my left arm they would still disregard and continue to harass out of staters.
Skip all of that, and then you will still need to be concerned with retarded magazine restrictions, ammo possession, AWBs, etc. that will all of a sudden be enforced left and right.
We in Mass are trapped or take a risk trying to get out of this area, we cannot carry even with a Utah or FL LTC along with our Mass LTC in CT NY NJ, Yes we can go north to VT NH ME but nothing south or west, if you are traveling you are fine as long as you don't stop for gas or anything or get stopped then you can be screwed.
Scott Brown the Rino was against this because he felt he didn't want rednecks bringing their guns to Mass, he felt we have GOOD gun laws the rest don't (except CA)
I already need to be concerned with those retarded magazine restrictions, ammo posessions, AWBs, etc. every time I travel from my home in Georgia to my camper in CT.
It's a felony in NY for me to be in possession of a mag that can hold more than 10 rounds.
It's a felony in NJ for me to be in possession of hollowpoint ammo.
I can only transport the AR's that are already REGISTERED in CT with me because it's a felony in CT to have any others with me.
National reciprocity will have no impact on the enforcement of these laws, (if it's passed). NY and NJ already enforce these laws.
govtrack gives it 11% chance of passing.The odds that this bill will get the 60 votes needed in the Senate to clear the guaranteed Democrat block filibuster are about the same as Maura Healy coming out in support of Constitutional Carry in MA.

The problem I see is states like California and NY are going to say the law is unconstitutional and start arresting people. It will take a couple years to work it out through the courts and those caught up in the process are going to be dropped into a meat grinder.
I'm very happy this is moving forward, but would not want to be the test case as it goes through the courts.
Really...Don't I wish.
Yeah, that's my point. Cool, I will be able throw a J frame in my pocket with no ammo in it when I drive to my mothers house in MA. Awesome. Unless this magical law somehow tiptoes around all of the retarded laws in retarded states, it's kind of useless.
If it passes, I'll be driving through Maryland, New Jersey and New York with my Glock 43 loaded on my person.
That's NOT useless.
AND I could finally ride up into Rhode Island and Massachusetts from Connecticut with the same firearm on me.
That's NOT useless either.
The only way this would be useful is actual penalties be written into it for states that violate it.
I'm talking , "You have the right to remain silent" type of penalties .
Otherwise place like MA., NJ, NY will just double down on the stupid .
All this could be resolved if by chance you’re carrying and you get pulled over and get checked. When the cop does a check (pretty much does a “soft” NICS) and you’re not federally prohibited, then you’re free to go, regardless of state license. I mean cops only find out someone is carrying/used a gun illegally after a crime has occurred and it should remain that way.
The only problem I see, is if they start creating new federal laws to find more reasons to deny/arrest.
Hi fellas
I've posted about this issue in the past and would like to reiterate why this should NOT pass. It's quite simple:
CONGRESS DOES NOT HAVE THE AUTHORITY TO DO THIS. They would be granting themselves that authority if this passes into law. This is strictly a states-rights issue for good or bad. Say it does pass. Two years from now you get a deep blue house and senate and president like we've had up until just recently. Ya think they will let this continue unscathed? I doubt it.
The bottom line: Your rights to ownership of firearms is already guaranteed and recognized by the 2nd amendment of this country's constitution. If Congress/Senate were to do anything in this regard, they could issue an edict to all 50 states and possessions ordering them to follow the 2nd amendment to the letter of the law and cease and desist the restrictions they continue to slather onto their regulations. Good luck with that, however. Look at the gay marriage issue. You would think that being married would be a federal issue since you deduct your dependents and married coupled pay taxes differently than two single people. Yet there are states that make that difficult if not impossible. And before someone else says anything like "our driver's licenses allow us to drive everywhere", that calls under the interstate commerce laws that restrict what states can do at their borders like requiring you to get one of their licenses too. Remember that owning firearms is a protected and recognized right. A driver's license is a privilege.
Since the 2nd A is the law of the land, just insist on enforcing it to the letter. No other authority is necessary. That’s what a number of states have done by adopting the “constitutional carry” approach. Thank God for them.
True. Maura will just make Mags over 5 rounds illegal. And abything bigger than .22 illegal.The only way this would be useful is actual penalties be written into it for states that violate it.

Evans was on complaining that this bill will increase crime in MA and that MA chiefs oppose this bill.
seems to me if you live in MA or have a hunting license or have purchased a gun from an ffl they already have your name on the gun owner list.Nope, not want. This has gun owner registration written all over it, and just to make a few people happy that don't have the intestinal fortitude to. Move to a free state.
