Not until after the elections when hopefully we can get Reid replaced with a Pro-gun Senate majority leader. He is blocking it right now because he knows that there are enough votes in the Senate to get it passed and he doesn't want Obama to have to veto it prior to the upcooming elections.

The bill HR822 was sent to the United States Senate right after the House passed it. The bill will probably be attatched to an unrelated bill to get it passed and signed by Obama. Two years ago a national reciprocity bill was approved in the Senate by a 58 to 42 vote, HOWEVER it would have taken 60 votes for passage to stop the fillibuster. Therefore the bill died. Since then the 2010 election changed the makeup of the Senate making final passage more likely. Will Obama sign it? Well if he is in a tight re-election race he might. Or IF the bill is attatched to another bill that Obama wants it could happen also. The National Parks carry law is an example of this. The NRA-ILA has up to date information about the status of this legislation. I urge you to contact your Senator to support this badly needed law.

From what I understand Harry is a relatively Pro-Gun Guy...............Harry Reid on Gun Control

Pro-gun yes, has even been endorsed by the NRA. However, first and foremost he is a party man. He wouldn't do anything that would put Obama in a bad situation prior to the upcoming election. If this gets up before the election any choice that Obama made would be costly and cost him votes. He vetoes and loses the pro-gun democrats. He doesn't veto and he loses the liberal left.

Always check with the NRA ILA site. They have the most updated legislative info. Forums like this are helpful, but a lot of times information is incorrect or people put their own spin on it. NRA back a while warned against obtaining info on HR 822 from internet sites/forums because a ton of info that was being shared was incorrect. Stick with NRA ILA.

You always follow the laws of the state your are in...not where your permit was issued.

This law does nothing to provide the right to carry anywhere. The context of the law provides that persons must still comply with state laws regarding carry. If a state doesn't provide carry permits then no one will be able to carry there (NJ). States that don't want non-residents to carry may stop everyone from carrying, including their own residents.

Actually New Jersey does issue carry permits, to a few. So the law as passed (HR822) would still apply to NJ allowing out of staters to carry. People who carry into another state would still have to obey the laws of the state they are in. Illinois is the only state to forbid any carry so it would be the only state you couldnt carry in. It is very unlikely that any state that currently allows CC would totally ban carry if 822 passes.

Yes, this is a long, long way from becoming law. Even if the Senate took up the bill, and it somehow passed (not a total long shot), it would have to get signed by Obama. That's where my hope dies.

Actually, New Jersey will stop all concealed carry before they'll agree to let every non-res to carry. Some state lawmakers have already gone on record with this.

Just because some (NOT ALL) New Jersey lawmakers go on record that they will ban CC doesnt make it a law. Such a law must be voted on by the New Jersey State Legislature, not just some legislators. As cold as this may sound NJ hands out very few permits already. So it means that the millions of us who stand to benifit from HR822 need to take a back seat to the few in NJ who have permits? But I very much sympathize with the residents of NJ (and other restricted carry states) and hope that the people in those states can someday effect change and become right to carry.
