Thus, if it is legal to conceal carry somewhere in the US, it would be legal to carry everywhere. CBS covers it at The showdown over the Concealed Carry Reciprocity Act
This will essentially allow red staters to conceal carry in any state. It is another attempt by congress to impose the values of one part of the country on another. It can be interpreted as an attempt to enable the Second Amendment's original intent.
I suspect that this will lead inevitably to the death of the 2nd. There is already a small outcry to kill it, and some of the strongest advocates are conservatives. It's an antiquated amendment in any case, so it's bound to die at some point. Forcing concealed carry nationwide will only hurry that along.
I too suspect the Second is dated, but I don't see the blue states in a supermajority soon. A Constitutional Convention? Maybe. They are usually held at the 4T 1T cusp. I don't see that particular forced culture change, though a crisis is time for it.
We'll see.
That this nation, under God, shall have a new birth of freedom, and that government of the people, by the people, for the people shall not perish from the earth.
