Amend LEOSA to have 50 state carry?
What is the feasibility of passing an amendment to the LEOSA law to include those who already have carry permits from some state? For instance, people in NJ can get Florida and Utah carry permits.
Positives
A proposal to amend LEOSA would mean....
There is no new law to sponsor, just an amendment to an existing law.
No new law that is dragged out, watered down, or hampered with restrictions.
The LEOSA bill is already in place.
The Feds don't get to run the permit system or issue permits.
The states continue to issue permits as they always have.
States rights are maintained.
Nothing changes, except a simple paragraph is added to the LEOSA bill to now include anyone who has a valid carry permit from any state.
Simplicity
The amendment proposal could read.....
"In addition, any person (including non retired LEO) who has a valid carry permit from any state can now also carry under LEOSA rules."
That is it.
Now that the Republicans have both houses, can we make this veto proof?
(Note:I would much prefer constitutional carry across the 50 states where there is no permit or required training, but I think it is unlikely for that to ever happen nationally. However this could work.)
This idea came about as I was reading some threads over at njgunforums. The talk was about the 'justifiable need rule' which makes carry in NJ a near impossibility. The rule in NJ is too vague and open to interpretation as well as an infringement on the Second Amendment. But something has to be done, maybe this is it?
I keep hearing these suggestions and proposals for a national carry law valid in all 50 states. I'm against the feds issuing carry permits period, it should be left to the states.
The idea of having the feds issue carry permits frankly is a bad idea. It could bring a host of new restrictions in the future. The point now, if one state is too restrictive one could end up moving to another state if they wished. If the Feds run the permit system, well ...we just can't leave the country if the Feds tighten the restrictions too much in the future.
By amending LEOSA, (a law that is already on the books) to now include law abiding citizens who have a valid carry permit (from any state in the U.S.) would avoid problems (and potential abuse) of the Feds issuing carry permits. Again, everything remains the same, the states still issue permits, the Feds don't get involved, all that is added to LEOSA to included those with valid carry permits from any state.
