You could still use a FL permit to carry in PA...just not in NJ.
It's possible that a result of this is that states AZ, FL, UT, etc might decide they no longer have to issue to non-residents...but I doubt they would want to give up that revenue source.
There's no way those gun-friendly states would do away with CC,
That's not really what I said....
It's called the Law Enforcement Officers Safety Act of 2004. Part of Homeland Defense. It is very succinct. Basically it grants any peace officer with off duty carry privileges the right to carry in all 50 states. I said reciprocity above, but that's not exactly true. It goes farther than that by granting LEOs exemption from state laws prohibiting the carrying of concealed firearms. There are certain requirements, but very reasonable. Check it out. If you are LEO or retired LEO, you may have more carry rights than you knew.

Enjoy!
There's no way those gun-friendly states would do away with CC, but other not-so-friendly states like NJ or Hawaii might very well do so. They hardly issue any permits in the first place so they don't have much to lose. I find it hard to believe that the "anti" states would simply do a 180 and allow people to CC just because of this law.
Seems a bit inconsistent to want as little federal government intrusion as possible and then want it to overrule state's rights. Not only overrule, but, in may ways, preempt states just as state governments have preempted local regulation. Do we want the federal government essentially asserting the it "rules the field" with regard to CC? Not sure I am liking that. I prefer pressure on states to establish reciprocity agreements.
Didn't we have a small war over states rights a few years back? I don't want the FEDs in anything. I want the states to adhere to the constitution. PERIOD.
