I wasn't saying that the court's decision wasn't final, I was saying that the justice's rulings are opinions, hence split decisions (e.g., 7 to 2, 6 to 3).Originally Posted by azchevy
The Supreme Court does take case on the same issue periodically... you yourself said that the Supreme Court ruled against the 2A referring to concealed carry TWICE...

I don't trust the Federal Government enough not to screw this up. It will end up that you can only carry a gun every third Monday of the month from 3:00am to 3:05am on a full moon.

No, they ruled once. And the heller decision mentioned it specifically when they gave their decision regarding "reasonable restrictions". I highly suggest you sit down and take the time to read both of them. I am not saying I agree with it, I am saying it is what it is and it is on "the record books" so to say.

NO...don't read anything into it. It simply means if you have a concealed weapons permit issued by the state you reside in, all other states must honor your concealed weapons permit, period. The same as if you have a drivers' license issuded in your home state and are pulled over in another state - that state must honor your driver's license even if it's issued in another state. BTW - cities cannot supercede state law. This just clears up any "gray" areas for people that legal;y carry concealed weapons.
Well, I see the comment, somewhat out of context, in what appears to be the text of ROBERTSON v. BALDWIN, 165 U.S. 275 (1897) but it will take someone professionally trained to explain to me how they get a citation to 165 282 into the text of the
earlier case. And this seems to happen throughout the original text in the form of urls inserted within the body of the
original ruling. At least that is how it appears to me.
This, within the body appears to be commentary (whatever the legal term) and not a formal judgment on the issue, given that
what they are discussing is abridging the seaman's rights to be free from involuntary servitude.
"Thus, the freedom of speech and of the press ( article 1) does not permit the publication of libels, blasphemous or indecent articles, or other publications injurious to public morals or private reputation; the right of the people [165 U.S. 275, 282] to keep and bear arms (article 2) is not infringed by laws prohibiting the carrying of concealed weapons; the provision that no person shall be twice put in jeopardy (article 5) does not prevent a second trial, if upon the first trial the jury failed to agree, or if the verdict was set aside upon the defendant's motion (U. S. v. Ball, 163 U.S. 662, 627 , 16 S. Sup. Ct. 1192); nor does the provision of the same article that no one shall be a witness against himself impair his obligation to testify, if a prosecution against him be barred by the lapse of time, a pardon, or by statutory enactment (Brown v. Walker, 161 U.S. 591 , 16 Sup. Ct. 644, and cases cited)."
Anyway, thanks for the link.

This is completely incorrect.
822 will not force Illinois to honor anyones license because it is illegal to CCW in Illinois.
822 will only make states allow you to carry under their rules with any other states permit, and in Illinois their rules are that you can't at all.
It's entirely possible that some states may curtail or otherwise change their own CCW rules, possibly even to the point of disallowing CCW altogether ( I'm looking at Wisconsin, where CCW is new and tenuous at best depending on the upcoming recall election), so that people with no training requirement don't carry in their state.
I'm distinctly against this bill as it will give the Feds a nose under the tent towards regulating firearms in one more way than they have now.
Fortunately, it's likely to never leave the Senate.
We're making such good strides in so many states as it is that I'm not for letting the Feds fool with it.
Look at where CCW was ten years ago then look at where it is today, without Fed involvement.
I'm in it for the long gain, not the short sugar rush.
Edit to add: there is no legal requirement that states honor each others drivers license. This is a much repeated fallacy and should really be put to rest.
Works the same way for marriage licenses, else gay marriage would be honored in all states.

I was looking for the NRA ratings of us senators or the Brady ratings of us senators. I thought this might be a good proxy for who may vote for the bill. Has anyone seem these?

- I'm all for State's rights too, except when they are against the 2nd Amendment. I also wouldn't listen to anything that a government representative says that is from one of the most weapon restrictive states in the United States.
Some MA logic:
- A non-resident permit is $150 PER year.
- You have to interview in person with the state police EVERY year to renew your non-resident permit.
- The Attorney General has an "approved" list of firearms you can buy.
- Knife laws are town by town, with the most restrictive being 2.5", meaning you risk committing a crime if you don't know each town's ordinance.

- That may be true for every part EXCEPT the Northeast. My CT permit is recognized by 1 state out of the 14 closest states, with no sign of anything changing. The only state that will recognize my permit is VT, simply because they allow anyone to carry.
It's disheartening that there are so many government conspiracy type gun owners. HR822 doesn't grant the Federal government control over permits. It doesn't create a Federal permit. It simply forces states to recognize permits from other states. At least read the NRA primer on the bill.
NRA-ILA | H.R. 822 -- National Right-to-Carry Rec
Not to mention that if the Brady Campaign is against it, all the more reason to be for it.
I am for it... I like the idea of only having one permit and being able to carry in all states (except on those which do not offer a permit to their citizens). I have not folllowed up on Obama's stance on gun control and I looked and searched but can not find anything with a statement from Obama saying he would not support this.
This bill is cut and dry.. If your state allows you to carry every other state that allows their citizens to carry have to honor all the other states' licenses/permits. It does not say how the states should process their permits/licenses or what requirements they need to impose.
I see where folks are skittish of how this could get ugly with those states that do not want to give up control, not to mention those that still do not allow a carry law like IL... AT this point it's in the house.. and if it goes to old BO, we'll just have to see how he handles it

If states are in violation of 2ASCOTUS ruled that 2A doesn't lift all regulations on concealed carry; and it's not the senator's fault that MA is restrictive. CA is worse in gun restrictions and knife variations. I am with the senator against 822.
You're willing to pass a "National" law that neglects the rights of citizens of restrictive states. Those who stick to principles will hold the field at the end of the day. 822 is bad law.
-Blackstone’s Commentaries 145–146, n. 42 (1803) in District of Columbia v. Heller, 554 U.S. 570 (2008)Americans understood the right of self-preservation as permitting a citizen to repel force by force
when the intervention of society... may be too late to prevent an injury.
The NRA that so endorsed the Gun Control Act of 1968?
Read your own link: "states don't have rights, only powers". But the NRA doesn't allow states the power of freedom to abolish permits. How are citizens of Constitutional Carry states like Vermont to benefit from a law that requires permits? See how the federal bill implies states to more regulation?
That's not the direction we should be going.
Read the comparisons: 822 a Trojan Horse?; HR 2900 - A Better Bill; and 2900 May Ring the Liberty Bell across the Land.

I see your posts and I see your point of view from the angle you are looking at this. Those who live in those states would not benefit from this law at this time, but that does not mean that there isn't a plan to deal with those states.. The NRA has been instrumental on where we are at today... I would not put it pass them for them to already have a plan of how they can get those trailing cities/states to fall in and I would imagine this bill is part of that plan...If states are in violation of 2A
You're willing to pass a "National" law that neglects the rights of citizens of restrictive states. Those who stick to principles will hold the field at the end of the day. 822 is bad law.
So let me ask you, what solution do you have instead of what is being presented?

All other states but Illinois...at least in the house version... Illinois does not issue carry permits to anyone.
