I look on this in several different ways. I think it is the best way to get "universal" recognition, an dthe least intrusive way to have the Fererals, sorry Federals weigh in on it.... However that said. The language of meeting said criteria, who DICTATES (yes that's the proper word in this case) what that criteria is? I have no doubt in my mind I'd pass any criteria and testing they designate, but I see that as a further infringemetn by the government. PA is one of the most liberal states in terms of issueing you a permit, you go in, pay your money, pass a background check and you're issued. the Only two I know more liberal than that are Alaska and Vermont, where as long as you're not a prohibited person, you can carry with OUT the permission slip from the government (much more in line with the 2A). Now how long to you think our two good friends in Washington are going to stand up in the senate and say, we'll not stand for infeingments and agressive 'standards' in issuing carry permits? How fast will they cave to the creatures from CA or NY, who say only the eilite should carry?

While I like the premise of the 'recognize' all permits and licenses, by allowing them the wording of 'as long as it meets.....' totally defeats the rest of it.
