I am hoping that congress will someday pass some sort or reciprocity bill whereby a state will be required to recognize a Concealed Carry license or permit from other states.

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.

I agree. True to form, Massachusetts doesn't recognize a permit from
any other state. Maybe if they changed their attitude, other states
would recognize a MA permit.

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.

Yeah, I know why people say they carry. You can drive from state to
state with an unloaded firearm in a case or box and not available for
ready use.

My last read of the laws in some states says it's still confusing and
can be up to local cops to interpret. For example, you can "pass
through" New York with an unloaded handgun stored in a locked box in the
trunk or, as you say, not available for ready use. However, you
technically can not stop for anything other than short periods, (can't
overnight in a hotel) *and* you must be traveling from a state that
issued a permit *to* another state that recognizes your permit. Kinda
stupid because how does law enforcement know where you are traveling to?

On the entire east coast, the only state that recognizes a MA permit is
North Carolina. If stopped for some reason and my locked, unloaded gun
was discovered, I'd just say I was traveling the North Carolina.

I carry firearms in the trunk or in the back of the truck, which has a
locking lid. Not loaded, and I keep the mags and the ammo in a locked
box in the back of the cab. The mags are not loaded. I'm not concerned
about cop stops.

You should be. Is it just because you are an old white guy?

Unless the cop was a Republican and you got into a political argument
