This bill discriminates against those of us who open carry. I don't like it.
Learn from the gun grabbers... a little at a time is better than nothing at all. And wouldn't the regulation of how it's carried be a state law? Seems this just makes the licensing accepted accross state lines...
Although I like the idea, it violates states' rights.
I'm a huge proponent of state's rights. But I've not been convinced this violates that. States would still have their own carry laws (whether carry is legal, carry in bars, notification of LEO, concealed vs open, etc). This just means that the license is recognized. It's a great analogy to driving.... states create their own traffic laws, licensince requirements, etc, but licenses from other states are accepted to allow you to drive. It doesn't force new regulations or costs on the states.... Does being allowed to drive in OH on an IN D/L violate OH's rights as a state?
I'm open to being convinced state's rights trump this, but I just don't yet see it....
