Reply #13: Despite the fact that the violent crime rate is decreasing...

...despite (or because of, or irrespective of) vast increases in both states that allow concealed-carry AND the number of concealed-carry permitees, this is still called "a race to the bottom on gun safety".

:rofl:


And of course, this wouldn't be an issue if a number of states would reciprocate with other states that meet their standards. But they don't. Ten states, including California, New York, New Jersey, and Massachusetts, only recognize their own concealed-carry permits. So even permitees from states that meets, say, New Jersey's standards for CCW permits, wouldn't be able to carry legally in NJ.

But I guess McCarthy and Lautenberg just can't see that little bit of hypocrisy.
