2. Obama would veto this one:

H.R.197 National Right-to-Carry Reciprocity Act of 2009 (Introduced in House) -- To amend title 18, United States Code, to provide a national standard in accordance with which nonresidents of a State may carry concealed firearms in the State.

Which is my most serious gun beef with him.

Best case scenario if he did? Supreme Court rules that citizens have the right to open carry nationwide unless given a concealed alternative, and Obama faced to back down.

5. National concealed carry would be great...

eliminate all the hassles of figuring out which states honored your concealed carry permit.

Might lower the national crime rate too.
