I'm a n00b and did a search but I can't believe this isn't being discussed here already. I think this is a GREAT idea and is something that should have been done years ago. Seems every conversation I have with someone regarding CCW permits comes back to this point: If you have a CCW from one state it should be recognized by every other state that allows permits.

The U.S. Senate is now considering the National Defense Authorization Act (S. 1390). As a part of the consideration of that legislation, Senators John Thune (R-SD) and David Vitter (R-LA) will offer an amendment on Monday to provide for interstate recognition of Right-to-Carry permits. There is a very high likelihood of a Senate floor vote on this important and timely pro-gun reform on Monday or Tuesday.

While the right to possess firearms for self-defense within the home has long been respected under the law, for most of our nation's history, state and local governments have prohibited ordinary citizens from possessing firearms for self-defense in many settings outside the home. Recently, however, most state legislatures have taken steps to reduce those restrictions. In the last twenty years, the number of states that respect the right to carry has risen from 10 to 40 -- an all-time high.

Here's a link to the official info as well as a link at the bottom to email.

So, if you currently have your permit, are thinking about getting one or just support the 2nd amendment please forward this to those you know who will also help support.

Thanks!
