Gun Control & RKBA
Showing Original Post only (View all)Would You Support Stricter Federal Training Requirements in Exchange for National CCW Reciprocity? [View all]
This is a question for both the pro-gun and pro-control sides.
I've been engaged in a back-and-forth PM session with another member who favors more gun control, and this idea for a compromise came up.
How would you feel about being able to pack heat (concealed-carry) anywhere in the contiguous 48 states without having to worry about violating some states' arbitrary laws during long-range road trips, if it meant having to put up with more rigorous training requirements to qualify to get a Federal CCW permit?
This would mean that unrestricted states like Alaska, Arizona, and Vermont would have to adopt stricter uniform Federal training standards, but on the flip-side, states like California, Illinois, and New York couldn't deny permits altogether, or only issue them if you are rich or politically well-connected.
I'm thinking this might be one area of compromise which might satisfy most (but not all) pro-gun folks, and most (but not all) pro-control folks, and be able to get Congress and President Obama to come together and deliver on during Obama's second term.
