The risk that concealed carry reciprocity poses to D.C
http://.<br /> www.washingtonpost.co...67e_story.html
The Jan. 28 Metro article “Hundreds apply for D.C. concealed carry permits” accurately called out the societal shift toward guns being forced upon the District by the courts.
While concealed carry permitting is becoming easier in the District, officials point to stringent criteria for applicants, including safety training, background checks and restrictions for people with a history of violence or mental illness. The Concealed Carry Reciprocity Act, federal legislation that would require concealed carry permits issued in one state to be honored by all states and that has been passed by the House, is an active threat to the District’s independence in asserting how concealed carry is governed within the city limits. The regular influx of visitors to the District makes the risk posed by concealed carry reciprocity all the more pertinent. Whether by arguing for states’ rights or for common-sense gun legislation, the Senate must step up and defeat this bill.

Re: The risk that concealed carry reciprocity poses to D.C
Now we pose a risk? Keep in mind PA LTCF carriers have no more accidents then those in high regulation states, and carriers in general are more law abiding than even the police.
Implying other states don't do background and mental health checks is nothing more than a red herring meant to instill fear in the uninformed.Resistance to tyrants is obedience to God.

I do not believe that mental health is used much. For my NH permit, it was a straight background, whereas for NJ FID/P2P I have to sign my HIPPA privacy away for the mental health check.
Either way, NJ does not want to be invaded by these dangerous gun carrying crazies who are crazy, but also decided to get a legal document to carry.Una Salus Victis Nullam Sperare Salutem

Well, Amazon.com and the WaPo are owned by an elitist named Jeff Bezos, so of course he doesn't want to see gutter trash, like us, being able to defend ourselves against the forces of the Empire and it's minions.

How arrogant of the writer to assume that no state can do it as well as DC can.

Guns aren't being forced upon the District by the courts, the District is being forced to follow The Constitution by the courts because the District won't follow it voluntarily!!!Let's go Brandon!!!
