Currently there are 3 bills before the US House of Representatives, and 1 before the US Senate, to establish a National Concealed Carry Reciprocity covering legal carry od guns nation wide, The basis is this. If you have a concealed carry permit issued by your home state it would be good in all states that require a concealed carry permit. If a state has a concealed carry permit law, they must recognize your out of state permit. That would mean that states like MD, PA, Etc. would have to let DE. permit holders carry in their state. If a state does not allow a conceal carry in their state, they would not be forced to let people carry. Then there are some states that allow concealed carry without a permit.
This would not change the responsibility of the carrier in these states. You would be responsible for knowing and following the specific laws of that state you were in.
The following are the bills I speak of:
SB. 498
HR. 402
HR. 923
HR. 986
All bills and their Co-Sponsors are available on-line.
If a state does not allow a conceal carry in their state, they would not be forced to let people carry.
MOdel10TODD,
MD. does have a concealed carry permit, but it is available to few. But still they do have one, which would mean as long as they do they would have to reciprocate with other states if the US Constitutional Concealed Carry Reciprocity Act is made law.
Here's something else you may not be aware of. Maryland House Bill 0369 co-sponsored by about 32 Delegates has been introduced and is in the Judiciary committee I believe. This Bill specifies that a permit to carry a handgun issued to an individual in Delaware, Pennsylvania, Virginia, Washington DC, or West Virginia is valid in Maryland.
You may want to go to a Maryland House Bill tracking site to keep an eye on this.
If all goes well, I'm expecting good news on or about 20 Apr 2017.
Prerequisites: Trump elected, Republicans hold House and Senate. 90 day effectivity.

Go figure not one Democrat......
Well, most Democrats play follow the leader and can't think for them selves so....
Yeah, we have 3 of them here in Delaware sitting is DC just kissing butt.
He includes that in every single email and letter reply he makes. I'm sure his father is ashamed. :(
Absolutely against it being patched onto a drivers license. They are two entirely separate things and should remain as much.

I'm with you on that.

I'm with you on that.
I also agree.
Not for having CC permit annotated on driver's license because there is no reason to announce to the world you are CONCEALED carrying.
if that is on you license, every time you show you license to anyone, for any reason, they will see you are probably carrying. It is not the business of everyone.

Remember too that we need to make sure that we can insulate ourselves from the political push back the next time some monster goes berserk in a "gun free zone". How that is handled will be the true test.

A good list of Republicans but as expected not a single democrat.
This is probably something we're aware of, but I thought it was an interesting.Yes, tends to dampen the euphoria but does change impossible back to difficult and, in some states, herculean.

HR 38 Reciprocity Bill now has 144 co-sponsors. 142 Republicans and 2 Democrats.
Forgive me as I'm not up to date with this bill. If passed would this allow legal Delaware residents with their permit to travel armed in Md? Or would their be a clause that allows the individual states to block those actions if the bill becomes law?If carrying, you will have to know and follow the laws (statewide, city, and local) of the state you are visiting. Expect states like MD & NJ to make their laws as tricky as possible to discourage concealed carry. Do 'No Guns' signs carry the force of law? 10 round mag limit? Gun Free School zones? Let the concealed carrier beware!

HR 38 now has 180 co-signors for concealed carry reciprocity passage.Thanks for the update Sturm. Are you following the senate version too?
There are now 189 co-sponsors signed on tho this including a few Democrats.Thanks for keeping us up to date with this law, greatly appreciate it. Hopefully this thing keeps rollin!

Congress will be returning from break and hopefully this bill will be brought out of committee and to the floor for a passing House vote. Then it would go to the Senate.
3 more Reps. signed on, bringing the total Co-sponsors to 191 for HR 38.

I think it is 216 based on teh HealthCare voteone half of 435 is 217.5 so if all of the members vote, 218 is required. The tougher game is in the Senate. 60 votes are required to invoke cloture on the inevitable filibuster. The companion bill, S.446 (https://www.congress.gov/bill/115th-congress/senate-bill/446/cosponsors?pageSort=alpha&r=1&q=%7B%22cosponsor-state%22%3A%22West+Virginia%22%7D) has 37 Senators signed on.
CNN reports (http://www.cnn.com/2017/06/15/politics/congress-members-carry-weapons/index.html)
Rep. Chris Collins, a Republican from New York, said that prior to Wednesday's shooting, he used to carry his handgun on rare occasions. He says he now plans to carry it on him at all times.
I infer that he has or will have a DC permit. Rep. Massie wants to require DC to give reciprocity to all the other States. (http://m.washingtonexaminer.com/thomas-massie-wants-dc-to-recognize-concealed-carry-permits-from-other-states/article/2626118) Oddly, Massie is not a co-sponsor of HR 38 where 3 Dems have joined with 196 Repub co-sponsors. With Rep Hudson as Sponsor, there are now 200 House reps on-board. Now if they will actually take some legislative action!CNN reports (http://www.cnn.com/2017/06/15/politics/congress-members-carry-weapons/index.html)

Won't he be in violation of DC laws? It would be interesting if he is arrested and charged.
On FoxNews this evening, Rep. Jodey Arrington (R-TX-19) said that congressmen shouldn't get a special carry privilege. He is a co-sponsor of HR 38.Yeah, it was particularly interesting that neither sponsor of the two new proposals had signed on to the original bill. Just more of the "one for me and none for you" attitude that the "privileged" continue to exhibit.
It's pretty obvious that this is not going anywhere. It of course would pass the House if Ryan were to bring it up, but would crash and burn in the Senate. Sure hope I'm wrong.
We gave the Repubs the power in Congress but they have turned their gutless backs on us. These are the establishment turds and never Trumpers. I myself will never give another cent to the GOP either in DE or national. IMHO they are as useless as tits on a bull. I am sure the last sentence will be adjusted by the deccw PC police. I have a good mind to go to G'town and change my vote status to Independent.
You are aware that in Delaware, if you are an Independent, you don't get to pick the candidate in either the Republican or Democrat Parties. You end up with the candidate they give you. This may be a candidate you can't support or someone the Party thinks is entitled to be representing the Party. Such as Hillary Clinton for the Democrats, or another Bush for the Republicans. Both bad choices.
Of course I realize in Delaware, Democrats are always a bad choice.

House panel to weigh bill expanding gun rightsMore at:
House Republicans moved forward on legislation to expand gun owners’ rights, the first gun-related measure since mass shootings in Las Vegas and Texas killed more than 80 people.
The Judiciary Committee is scheduled to vote Wednesday on a National Rifle Association-supported bill that would allow a gun owner with a state-issued concealed carry permit to carry a handgun in any state that allows concealed weapons.
The reciprocity measure would allow gun owners to travel freely between states without worrying about conflicting state laws or “onerous” civil suits, said Rep. Richard Hudson, R-N.C., the bill’s sponsor.
I read on Bearing Arms that 2 Gun bills are coming out of committee. National Reciprocity and update to the federal background check system. I don't think we'll see anything this year but next year could be a whole different story. We need to hammer our reps in Wash until they get tiered of hearing from us.
Maybe if we organize a march on Dover or something like that to get their attention maybe we can convince them to do something "FOR US"
I think its time to raise hell boys.
Next it has to go to the floor for a full House vote I believe, then if passed it goes to the US Senate. Is that right?The House bill could be voted on by the full House as soon as next week. (But even if it is not, there's a lot of pressure to vote on it before Jan 1st.)

I to sent a email letter to our Representative. I got a form letter back so fast, no human could have read my letter that fast. Same old Bull feces they always do. It will surprise me if any Delaware Politician votes yes on a National Reciprocity bill. Delaware Politicians suck.Yes they do!
I'm so fed up with Delaware's Democrat Monacracy that I hesitate to even participate in an attempt to contact them. Coons, Carney, and Rochester are all part of the problem, not the answer or cure. But as long as the keep the money distributed from downstate to upstate, the morons up there will keep on sucking up the swill and voting them back in office.Its hard to vote against FREE stuff!
...Al (Groper) Franken said “in the coming weeks”. It could be that he might try to renege if Roy Moore is elected but that would be a ‘tough row to hoe’ when 33 Dem senators told him to resign. They would have to appear to be flip-floppers.
When's Al's last day? That will be 1 less NO.
I received this today. It's a lot of questions and answers about HR 38. Very interesting.I disagree with the author's conclusion that mag limits imposed by a State are overridden. HR 38 (https://www.congress.gov/bill/115th-congress/house-bill/38/text)says:
www.concealedcarry.com/national/answers-to-your-questions-about-hr-38-national-concealed-carry-reciprocity/ (http://www.concealedcarry.com/national/answers-to-your-questions-about-hr-38-national-concealed-carry-reciprocity/)
If the Reciprocity Bill fails, you can blame it on Mitch McConnell. He had the chance to immediately bring it to a Senate vote when he had a 52 member vote majority.Remember that in the Senate you will need 60 votes. You will have to break a filibuster
But he "dithered" and now the majority is only by 1 Republican member. Take from that the Republican "never Trumpers" and this Bill is destine to fail, unless you put a fire under Mitch McConell.

60 minutes is running a feature on the National Reciprocity Bill tonight (2/11) at 7:00pm. Could be very interesting!Ooooo. Scary. Licensed concealed carriers crossing state lines so they can shoot people with impurity.
I missed it but I may watch it later on the CBS app.60 minutes is running a feature on the National Reciprocity Bill tonight (2/11) at 7:00pm. Could be very interesting!Ooooo. Scary. Licensed concealed carriers crossing state lines so they can shoot people with impurity.
OMG they are just itching to shoot innocent people in New York and California. Only thing stopping them is that their license is not valid in those states.
Wild West, OK corral, shoot out at every parking lot.....
Interesting pair of articles from CCW Safe (https://ccwsafe.com/blog/concealed-carry-reciprocity-act) and Legal Heat (https://mylegalheat.wordpress.com/2011/08/09/2amendment/). In the first article the author points out , HR 38 will allow carry in States where that State issues concealed carry licenses. But States such as NJ, MD, NY, and HI could just eliminate concealed carry altogether or tighten up the laws to make carry unfeasible.I doubt whether even the antis on SCOTUS would go along with NY banning CC since they already ban OC, and thus would effectively ban the Right to Bear Arms entirely. Practically, that is also true for the vast majority of CA residents as well.
The Legal Heat articles distinguishes between “keep arms” (which Supreme Court has ruled as constitutional) from “bear arms” (which SCOTUS has not yet ruled on). “Bear arms” is a state issue which fortunately for us, Delaware has done. California, Iowa, Maryland, Minnesota, New Jersey, New York have not."Bear Arms" is currently only protected at the state level, that is true. That is also why those 6 states without a state constitutional RKBA are where the federal Bear Arms cases will arise that will one day, if Trump gets to replace either Kennedy or an anti, be taken by SCOTUS and give us ALL a federal Constitutionally protected right to Bear Arms.
Section 20. (http://delcode.delaware.gov/constitution/constitution-02.shtml#P95_7849) A person has the right to keep and bear arms for the defense of self, family, home and State, and for hunting and recreational use.
Are you forgetting Delaware is an "Open Carry State" as well as having a concealed carry permit available?I was not thinking of Delaware but rather State’s like New Jersey, Hawaii and California that either don’t issue or rarely do. Also universal recognition of carry licenses just like driver license.
Regarding Pennsylvania, there are other counties. My Lancaster one is due in April, though — so I will have to figure out where to go. My first one was from York, before switching to Centre County — and then Lancaster. So, I may call York around March, and go from there. Unless, of course, someone has better advice before then.

I have been getting mine at the Reading Regional Airport, Berks County has a Sheriff's office there. I was in and out quickly. I prepared the paperwork before I left home, didn't sign it until the officer told me to sign. Download the application and make sure to read the hours of operation, they close for several days during the month.
