Wow, my bad! I should have noticed that it was too short to be one of your posts!:laugh:
I have already let my representatives know that I will not support any law regarding guns unless they specifically repeal the infringements currently in place, with NO concessions given to appease the grabbers. What I think is interesting is that I get monthly (weekly when in session) updates from the offices of Senator Tim Scott and Representative Mark Sanford, along with detailed info on what they have voted on and why. I never get those from Congressman Lindsey Graham...
HA! I don't know much about Scott, but what I do know seems impressive. Unfortunately, no matter his voting record, Sanford is a degenerate and represents one of the most significant things that is wrong with this country to me.

At this point, I would settle for national reciprocity. And then push for more after that. But one thing at a time.
National CCW or Reciprocity will never happen, at least not in my lifetime. Chuck Schumer and his lapdog Kirsten Gillibrand will never vote for national reciprocity, plus he's got enough clout and influence in the Senate to keep it from happening. Plus, NY will claim "state's rights" to keep others out.
Chuckie Schumer is one of those "do as I say, not as I do" people. He's got a CCW for NY, but doesn't think "The Great Unwashed" should be able to have one....because nobody is as smart or responsible as the "Ruling Class". Also, Chuckie pulls the loop coming out of Gillibrands back and she will say whatever he has programmed into her... just like my daughter's dolls of many years ago. So there are already 2 "Nay" votes already.
Finally, I've written to both Schumer and Gillibrand in the past regarding this issue. Their response, 'We don't trust that other states will be as diligent and thorough as NY in scrutinizing CCW applicants'. In other words, some states are 'must issue', while NY is 'may issue', so we won't give reciprocity.
No offense intended, but all you can do is gather likeminded individuals, get off your a$$ and vote the guy out. You aren't the only state with that problem (Kalifornistan comes to mind)
Food for thought about "national reciprocity".....
First of all the only way all the States would agree to it is if the national standard was the most restrictive State's criteria. After all.... anything less restrictive and that State won't agree to it so any national reciprocity went "poof" right there.
Second... and I don't understand why anyone would be looking to "Daddy Fed" to step in and force the States to recognize each others permits since "Daddy Fed" is NOT some benevolent doting Granpa wanting to do the right thing for the people... "Daddy Fed" really is "Papa Dictator" who doesn't give two farts about the people wanting national reciprocity but would dearly love to have control of carry permits so the Feds can dictate what the criteria for qualification is, how much it costs, and who is disqualified right from the get go. And incrementally increase the degree of restrictions/costs until no common peon could possibly qualify or afford it.
Do folks really want the Feds to be in control? Think carefully because asking the Federal government for national reciprocity is the same as asking Obama for permission to carry a gun.
Now... in my opinion... the only acceptable "national reciprocity" would be Constitutional carry in all States brought about by the individual residents of each State... no Feds involved in any way. But to do that people in each and every State would have to get off their butts and fight for Constitutional carry in their respective State.
But I fear folks would rather look to what they think is "benevolent Daddy Fed" to step in and save the day never realizing that "Daddy Fed" isn't going to save the day.... "Daddy Fed" is really "Papa Dictator" who will use national reciprocity as a way to STEP ON the right to bear arms and squash it out of existence.
Be very careful what you ask for..... you just might get it.
What do you think other states would do, if say Washington didn't require a driver's license or didn't require a test for a driver's license. Does anyone think other states would still accept Washington DL?

Um, no - because you just said they wouldn't have one...

Miss the bold part didja?
Why do we even need to ask our employees (elected servants) permission to do anything that does not violate anothers rights or has nothing to do with commerce?
