H.R.38 - Concealed Carry Reciprocity Act of 2017

I don't have any issues with this bill.

" This bill amends the federal criminal code to allow a qualified individual to carry a concealed handgun into or possess a concealed handgun in another state that allows individuals to carry concealed firearms.

A qualified individual must: (1) be eligible to possess, transport, or receive a firearm under federal law; (2) carry a valid photo identification document; and (3) carry a valid concealed carry permit issued by, or be eligible to carry a concealed firearm in, his or her state of residence.

Additionally, the bill specifies that a qualified individual who lawfully carries or possesses a concealed handgun in another state: (1) is not subject to the federal prohibition on possessing a firearm in a school zone, and (2) may carry or possess the concealed handgun in federally owned lands that are open to the public. "

a separate permit for my neighboring state to the south, which I visit once or twice weekly: dropping my wife off at class, taking classes myself at the junior college, going to dinner, shopping, etc.

about the constitutionality. BTW, I thought the school zone law was struck down for violating the Commerce Clause.

Don't care about the butt hurt it will cause either. Haters are going to hate regardless.
