Can someone please direct me to the actual legislation (House and Senate versions) of this so that I can read it? I am having a heck of a time finding the respective bills.... no problem with last year's though.
Think it is going to be tough to override the veto but one never knows. While I don't believe that this type of legislation should be necessary to enforce 2A, etc., I am moved to believe that it is going to be a necessary evil. I'd like to read the bills for myself instead of being spoonfed by the media.
As one who travels through the USA from state to state regularly I can certainly attest to the fact that it is a royal pain in the butt keeping up to date on where I may and may not carry, concealed or otherwise. I am often forced to travel through NY State, NYC, Illinois, NJ, etc., and have a real problem transporting my firearm(s) through these states, even with FOPA in place - I don't want to find myself defending a firearms charge with an "affirmative defense" instead of being treated as the 2A intended. As one who has had a loaded firearm stuck in my face MORE than once (and I don't mean to preach to the congregation here), I REALLY, REALLY appreciate that right and would like to see it reaffirmed and bolstered in any way possible. Only by the Grace of the Almighty did my family and I escape with our lives in both situations; one an armed home invasion, the other an armed attempted carjacking just outside of Disneyworld. And I can tell you that a .22 and a .50 pistol both look the same from the wrong end when pointing at your nose and with your family behind you. In both cases, LEO's arrived just in time to say goodbye to the perps. They simply cannot be everywhere all the time and response times with traffic, etc., are what they are. If you have not been in the situation, I can assure you that the right to carry concealed and knowing your surroundings become a HUGE issue in the aftermath. It has been almost three years since the last incident and I still lose sleep. The home invasion was thwarted by our dog, who barked at 3 a.m. In hindsight, even our Class A alarm system in the home would not have given sufficient warning as these guys would have been on us before having a chance to take arms. Like I say, only by the Grace of the Almighty...
Thanks very much in advance, especially if it is already posted somewhere on here.
