Can the feds tell states that they have to recognize another state's carry permit? Sounds like a state's rights issue.

The Reciprocity Act has been around for a long time, but not passed. Now is the time. |

The Reciprocity Act has been around for a long time, but not passed. Now is the time. I agree with the concept but the problem in a practical sense is CCW training is mostly about the law and if the self defense laws are different in each state you would pretty much have to be certified in each state. If they said that after said training you were good to go, I would agree it is OK. You could probably break this down into 3 or 4 classes. It would range from Texas where you can use force top protect property to dark blue places where you can't even use force to defend yourself from intruders in your own bedroom. (obligation to retreat). My best buddy from school did time in Maryland for killing an intruder with his bare hands. The prosecution argued that between punch 1 and 2 (the fatal one) he could have run out the door. |

The prosecution argued that between punch 1 and 2 (the fatal one) he could have run out the door. You make a point of individual state laws. "The Law Enforcement Officers Safety Act (LEOSA) is a United States federal law, enacted in 2004, that allows two classes of persons€”the "qualified law enforcement officer" and the "qualified retired law enforcement officer"€”to carry a concealed firearm in any jurisdiction in the United States, regardless of state or local laws, with certain exceptions." I don't know every state law but I can carry under the current LEOSA law, codified in federal law. AFAIK self defense is allowed in every state and ruled upon by SCOTUS. The Reciprocity Act is about "carry". The point is, once you get into the dark blue states where there is virtually no CCW now, they have "the obligation to retreat" written into their law so a "self defense" can be called murder if there was any possible way to run away. They are even dodgy about protecting others. Some define it is imminent fear of death, not even bodily harm. Basically if a "reasonable person" thinks they will just be beat "half" to death, it is not self defense to use deadly force, particularly with a weapon. |

Retired and off duty cops with concealed guns are stopping crime all the time. More guns, less crime. As far as pot goes. It is stupid to use. But, probably less harmful to society than alcohol. We will see. At least pot heads do not tend to drive and slaughter innocents by the thousands. I will make an exception on the stupid remark for those who legitimately need it for medical reasons, like to treat the side effects of chemo. Do you realize how much safer pot is than the one use additive designer opiates the allopaths prescribe? What is the statistic, sometime like three times the deaths to designer opiates than all the illegal drugs combined? YIKES !!!! My thoughts are that society should not stop folks from taking drugs, as it is a fools errand. But society should regulate the hell out of your behavior under the influence. Drug test for jobs, lose your car and go to jail if driving under the influence, don't use around kids, no excuse for criminal behavior, yada, yada, yada. Back when drugs were legal, social pressure was far more effective than prohibition. |

I think the real estate license may be the best example if you were going to have reciprocity. A real estate license says you understand that state's real estate laws well enough to arrange contracts. A CCW reciprocity would mean you understood the state law well enough to know when using you gun was legal and that varies widely across state lines. An excellent example would be the Maryland Virginia border. A "good shoot" in Virginia will get you time in the big house across the bridge. |

But the issue is it up to the states to decide which state's they will have reciprocity with or is it the federal govt right to force it down their throats. Doug thinks it's a constitutional right. If so, it's very strange that NRA or other gun rights groups haven't brought a case demanding all states recognize any CCW from any other state. |

Concealed carry without a permit is legal outside of incorporated areas with the exception of lumber camps. There have been a few attempts to do away with the permit for concealed but they've never made it through. That leads to some ambiguity. if I am going hiking and have a shoulder holster on and am wearing a jacket when am I in an incorporated area? Some of the small towns are incorporated, some aren't. There are some other nuances. 'Concealed' means concealed on your person. A firearm in a backpack is not considered on your person. Not being a lawyer and not wanting to get to know any, I wouldn't push the boundary of 'is a firearm in a Bianchi fanny pack on your person or not? |

Per madadmin:
To my knowledge any place open carry is allowed there is no permit needed. I actually prefer open carry to concealed. Maybe it's different in the Western states where normal people carry firearms in public. But here in Southeastern Pennsylvania (about 23 miles West of Philadelphia) I feel more at ease when people are carrying their weapons out of sight - i.e. I am not aware of their presence. When I see somebody with a Glock on their hip walking around in plain sight and no badge, all I can think of is "Is this nut case going to *do* something or is he harmless?". Ignorance can be bliss - or, at least, freedom from anxiety... -- Pete Cresswell |

Ignorance can be bliss - or, at least, freedom from anxiety... I agree with you. If I see anyone openly carrying a firearm, cop or civilian, they definitely get on my radar. I often carry in the back country but even then I leave the gun in my pack until I'm clear of the trail head to avoid making the granola crowd nervous. Even in that setting if I meet someone who is armed I note both the firearm and which is their strong hand. I even do that in the movies. When I watch the Donnie Wahlberg character in 'Blue Bloods' my brain says 'left handed'. |

But here in Southeastern Pennsylvania (about 23 miles West of Philadelphia) I feel more at ease when people are carrying their weapons out of sight - i.e. I am not aware of their presence. When I see somebody with a Glock on their hip walking around in plain sight and no badge, all I can think of is "Is this nut case going to *do* something or is he harmless?". Ignorance can be bliss - or, at least, freedom from anxiety... I agree with you. If I see anyone openly carrying a firearm, cop or civilian, they definitely get on my radar. I often carry in the back country but even then I leave the gun in my pack until I'm clear of the trail head to avoid making the granola crowd nervous. Even in that setting if I meet someone who is armed I note both the firearm and which is their strong hand. I even do that in the movies. When I watch the Donnie Wahlberg character in 'Blue Bloods' my brain says 'left handed'. I try to maintain situational awareness at all times no matter if I see any weapons or not. Just because you don't see one doesn't mean they're not carrying one. I view open carry as a policy of honesty. A concealed weapon traditionally has always been an implied intent to do harm. Plus, if the **** hits the fan, a concealed weapon does tend to take a fraction of a second longer to put into action and that fraction of a second can easily mean life or death. I wouldn't put too much stock in movies either........ |

I just watch the news and see people in action everyday and am certain there are plenty of people who would use open carry to boost their self-image. |

I prefer to see who's carrying and whether they may present a threat or not. The Northeast has had issues since the 1800's at least. Back in the Wild West days the murder rate in the West was considerably less than any of the Western cities now and New York had a much HIGHER rate back then than it does now. If I see somebody with a Glock on their hip it just means they have different tastes than I do |
