If you read the whole thread, it appears that even the no permit needed states are included, and it applies in ALL 50 states. Even if you're in a no-issue state, if you can get a non-resident permit from another state, you're good to go. At least that's what they're saying on the other forum.

Uh, better read that more carefully - looks like if your a non-resident, this applies. Therefore, if you're not a non-resident, it doesn't - you're existing state laws would rule.

My congresswoman already sponsored it and I already thanked her for doing so. She probably thinks I am stalking her with how I send her emails on stuff she just did that day.
Does anyone think this has any chance of even seeing daylight in the senate? Getting sent to the president?
