Saw this article that mentions there have been new bills in Congress in July with a big push for honoring other state's licenses. Yes, it has everything to do with the shooting at the practice ballgame. Seems Congress can't do enough to pass gun bills when they feel threatened.
Not sure at this point if the bills only benefit members of Congress, or also ordinary citizens. They want carry everywhere, including DC, with the exception of in the Capital building itself, or anywhere where the Pres. or VP are present. The bills also include ones re: silencers.
"Three bills introduced in the Republican-held House during the past two weeks would allow lawmakers to almost always carry a concealed weapon. A fourth would allow concealed carry permits obtained in other states to be recognized in the District of Columbia. Still another would eliminate federal controls on silencers."
Here's the complete article:
