It is quite obvious that the liberals want blood; or at least our guns and high cap mags, rather, at the very least our rights to purchase them in the future...
So, needless to say that in light of all of that madness, NJ2A (a great 2nd amendment rights group in NJ) is reaching out to all its members daily in an attempt to have us all reach out to our legislators everyday and request that they oppose any gun control or assault weapons ban. Today the request was a bit more specific, it was to call our state and federal representatives and ask that they not just to oppose any new gun control measures but to also support concealed carry in NJ at the same time.
So it got me thinking, and I wanted to ask the members of FTF. If there was an assault weapon ban to be signed into law and part of it included language for national concealed carry or full reciprocity of out of state CCW permits in all other states as part of the bill to would you be amenable to it?
I know there are many members here that will only be adversely affected by that type of language (i.e., those that live in states that already have existing CCW rights), but thinking on a national level, to be able to safely travel across the country without fear of an ambiguous local law on the books of some city or state you are driving or flying through that can potentially strip you of your firearm and lock you up for a minimum mandatory sentence all for simply protecting yourself and your family. As well as the ability for your brothers and sisters that once lived in restrictive states to have the same freedoms to CC and protect yourself and your family that you enjoy.
And though the idea of "not giving an inch for fear of them grabbing a mile" is vital to the protection of our 2A rights, it may be a moot point. Judging from the voracity in which Mr. Obama and his band of merry men and women are looking at getting this AWB sealed up. Perhaps it may be the best time for the gun lobby to use full 50 state concealed carry as a bargaining chip.
Look, I am hopeful that I will not get chided on this forum for this question...as I am no troll.
But as a resident of NJ I have been living with rather strict and archaic gun laws already, so I am desensitized a bit by all of this talk of an assault weapons ban. And while I am not one to want to have the rest of the country share in my misery, at the end of the day it's up to Mr. O and our legislators...So rather I'm reading the writing that may be written on the wall and at the same time, just trying to level the playing field regarding concealed carry in my home state and other more restrictive ones as well.
