Bill forces ALL states to accept CCW permits

[Wayne02]

I'm sorry, but I have to play devil's advocate on this one.

Say this bill goes through, it may cause a riff (and looks like it already is) concern each state's qualification process being different or more difficult. What is to stop them for pushing for a singular qualification all states use?

Then, if they do that, do they use Florida as their template or Illinois/California/New York/New Jersey for their template?

CCW doesn't need this bill. Qualifications need to go away completely.

Exactly, this thing sets up the potential of a really messy situation that the antis could and would exploit, and would ultimately be a detriment to the 2A movement. My state is a "shall issue" state, and damn well better stay that way. That means "shall issue", not shall issue if you take this training or that test...

This bill opens doors we do not want open, and provides opportunities for the antis that we do want to provide them with. We must apply some critical thinking to stuff like this before just jumping on the bandwagon. Be very careful what you wish for...

I like the idea behind this bill but I worry about the federal government getting into CCW. If they get into regulating it now it will just make them feel like they have the power to take it away in the future.

I wish all states would just voluntarily do this and thus avoid any 10th amendment issues.

Whatsoever the State giveth, the State can taketh away.

All hail the power of the State.

Be careful of that which you demand. You just might get it.
