I still believe that the rights laid down by the 2nd amendment should be the only permit anyone should need in order to carry a gun.
What will be involved in a national conceal carry permit? How will they enforce it? How much will it cost? What will be the term? 1 year,5 years?? What will the feds do about suckhole states like california? Pull their federal funding??
I know the NRA in deeply involved with the Trump crew in laying out the guidelines but either way I still say you shouldn't have to have a freaking permit or pay to exercise a RIGHT.
Semper Fi !!!
The Republican-controlled Congress and the National Rifle Association (NRA) are preparing to pursue a slate of pro-gun bills once President-Elect Donald Trump is inaugurated.
One such bill would be national reciprocity for concealed carry permit holders. The Wall Street Journal quotes the NRA’s Jennifer Baker, who said, “People are turned into criminals because of the confusing patchwork of laws around this country. Law-abiding citizens should be able to exercise their constitutional right regardless of what state they’re sitting in.”
The NRA’s push for national reciprocity is complimented by Gun Owners of America’s pursuit of the same goal, which means the two most powerful groups in the fight for gun rights will be united in making a concealed carry permit from any state valid in every state. Two national reciprocity bills have already been put forward.
Another pro-gun pursuit would be to loosen restrictions on firearm suppressors.
Suppressors–a.k.a., silencers–are legal in the majority of states but the process of acquiring them is time-consuming and expensive due to federal involvement. Suppressor sales are handled under the auspices of the National Firearms Act, which requires would-be buyers to be fingerprinted, photographed, and to go through a background check and pay a $200 federal tax. It also requires the suppressor to be registered. The entire process takes four to six months.
But the number one and most urgent pursuit will be to secure a pro-Second Amendment Supreme Court replacement for Antonin Scalia.
WSJ reports that Trump “released the names of 21 possible appointments during the campaign, none of which the NRA views as ‘non-starters.’” But the NRA does have preferences, one of whom “is Judge Bill Pryor, of the 11th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals in Atlanta, who as attorney general of Alabama was an ardent advocate of an individual’s right to own weapons.”
Beyond national reciprocity, suppressor deregulation, and securing a pro-gun Supreme Court justice, the NRA and Republicans will push to roll back gun controls President Obama secured via executive orders.

Oklahoma legislators just failed to pass a constitutional carry, which meant if you can legally purchase a gun you can legally carry it. The failure in part was due to republican Gov. Fallin, who said the state needed the money from the license fee's. I hope Gov. Fallin does not get a job in the Trump administration.
Oklahoma it cost 200 for a 10yr license, 50 fingerprint, 50 for the class and its a good chance those will be going up.
I think carry laws are unconstitutional but I still support a national carry law, because its a step in the right direction.
