Hmm...don't know how the bill is "absolutely absurd." I don't see it being much different than how your driver's license is valid in all states.

IMO the states should be considered individual sovereign entities. I think the less Federal legislation, the better.

Isn't the LTCF in PA easier to obtain then most states? PA doesn't require any "formal" training, so why would it be absurd? For FL, I had to be tested in my proficientcy with a firearm and in PA there is nothing needed, is that accurate?

In my opinion, PA is just about as lenient as any state to get a LTCF. The only question is what background check qualifications are needed in reciprocal states.

they can oppose it all they want, if it becomes a law they must obey the law, period. Then they can go and cry in the corner while you beat them senseless with the statistics that more firearms in the hands of law abiding citizens equals less crime.Yet they will still pout and sniffle because guns are evil and nobody except the army and police should have guns.
