Welcome to the Colorado AR-15 Shooters Club Discussion Forums.
I emailed everyone that I sent email to last week to thank them and insist that if they didn't do it before that they should co-sponser it now. Its not to late to do the right thing.

Sent my emails out as well. Keep the bill on top of their list.
I really hope this passes but I fear fuckenlooper will veto it...then they will have to override that. I don't know if there is that much support for this to see that happen. I really hope it does, but not expecting much.

If it passes, it will only be good for Colorado. SO keep that in mind.
Which could damn near be nationwide should this pass:
"Last week, H.R. 822, was introduced in the U.S. House by Representatives Cliff Stearns (R-Fla.) and Heath Schuler (D-N.C.). The measure would allow any person with a valid state-issued concealed carry permit to carry a concealed firearm in any state that issues concealed firearm permits, or that does not prohibit the carrying of concealed firearms. A state's laws governing where concealed firearms may be carried would apply within its borders. The bill also applies to Washington, D.C., Puerto Rico and U.S. territories.
H.R. 822 would not create a federal licensing system. Rather, it would require the states to recognize each others' carry permits, just as they recognize drivers' licenses and carry permits held by armored car guards. Rep. Stearns has introduced such legislation since 1995."

I hope I'm wrong but I don't see these bills passing (on either the state or the national level).
So it's passed committee in the Colorado house; next it'll go to a full house vote. If it passes the house, which it likely will, it goes to the senate, which is still controlled by the Dimocrats. If, by some miracle, it passes the senate, ChickenPooper will most certainly veto it. And I can't see any circumstance that would produce a 2/3 majority to override a veto. (Having participated in the fight against the Front Range Toll Road a few years back, I've done a little study on how these things are supposed to work.)
And I feel the same process will be followed on the national level.
It's all good work, though, and it puts the politicians on record as either supporting or opposing these things (except, of course, those who vote "PRESENT" like some have been known to do).

That'd be pretty sweet to be able to CCW in Puerto Rico.
I don't even think to wonder if I can take my gun with me when I go on vacation out of the Continental US.

Definitely! Some think i'm crazy, but not being able to carry has severely limited my travels. I really don't prefer to travel to places that don't allow me to arm myself.
I see it passing and we maybe in the top 5 states to do it.

Even if the bill does make it all the way through the legislature, I doubt Hick will ever sign it. It's not him.
