Right now the other 49 states recognize my Michigan drivers license.
As to my Concealed Carry Permit there are 8 states + some territories
that do not reciprocate and recognize my carry permit.

Right now I can conceal carry in all but California, Connecticut,
District of Columbia, Guam, Hawaii, Illinois, Maryland, Massachusetts,
New Jersey, New York, New York City, Oregon, Puerto Rico, Rhode
Island, Virgin Islands, American Samoa, N. Mariana Islands

A reciprocity bill would take care of that situation.



Gosh, if only you were at that concert in Vegas with your concealed
carry pistola, why, you would have been able to take out that nutcase on
the 32nd floor and save dozens of lives.

I let my Maryland carry permit expire. Carrying a concealed firearm is a
pain in the ass, among other discomforts.

Besides, if you are really worried, you should open carry and strap an
AR to your back. That way, everyone will give you wide berth on your
shopping trips to WalMart.


I don't think RGrew was thinking of his ability to take out someone like
the shooter in Las Vegas. I think, like me, he was referring more to
the legal ability to travel from state to state with a firearm without
fear of being arrested and thrown in the clink simply for having one in
his car.

One of the purposes of having a gun permit is for last resort, self
defense in the rare, but always possible event of encountering a
situation where it's the bad guy or you (or people with you). Weird
stuff happens on the road now-a-days.

Sometimes I carry. Most often I don't. It all depends on where I am
going and who I have with me. I certainly don't find it to be a pain in
the ass. Maybe you have the wrong type of carry handgun.


I am a gun guy but carrying a gun is always a pain in the ass. It just
reminds you that you should move to a safer place.
