imschur Posted November 14, 2011 Report Posted November 14, 2011 The National Shooting Sports Foundation (NSSF) is encouraging all sportsmen, gun owners and firearms enthusiasts to contact their representative and urge him/her to support H.R. 822 — legislation that would help protect the rights of law-abiding gun owners and enable millions of concealed carry permit holders to exercise their right to self-defense while traveling outside their home states.Over the past 25 years, many states have passed concealed carry legislation that made it legal to possess firearms for self-defense. H.R. 822 would mark a major step forward for gun owners’ rights by significantly expanding where those permits are recognized. Currently, there is a patchwork of laws across the country that presents challenges and confusion to those willing to defend themselves and their families.A vote on H.R. 822 is expected in the House of Representatives tomorrow. Please contact your representative in Washington, D.C. today!To send a Capwiz email to your representative, click here.To call your representative: 202-224-3121Support H.R. 822 the “National Right-to-Carry Reciprocity Act of 2011″ The National Shooting Sports Foundation (NSSF) supports the “National Right-to-Carry Reciprocity Act of 2011″ (H.R. 822).H.R. 822 would help protect the rights of gun owners and enable millions of concealed carry permit holders to exercise their right to self-defense while traveling outside their home states.Over the past 25 years, many states have passed concealed carry legislation that made it legal to possess firearms for self-defense.

Matt.Cross Posted November 15, 2011 Report Posted November 15, 2011 Yup. I clicked and sent a letter to Patrick McHenry. I'm glad you posted this up! <thumbsup>
Shaggy Posted November 15, 2011 Report Posted November 15, 2011 Just sent mine, but it might be too late if they are voting on it today. <dontknow>
planeflyer21 Posted November 16, 2011 Report Posted November 16, 2011 Clicked the link, and sent the email to my Representative, Gabrielle Giffords. <thumbsup>I know the family...VERY pro-2nd Amendment!Doesn't seem to have changed either.Jon
unforgiven Posted November 17, 2011 Report Posted November 17, 2011 Clicked and sent IMSCHUR thanks bro Gabby still pro gun?Wow thats outstanding.Shoot on bro.
planeflyer21 Posted November 17, 2011 Report Posted November 17, 2011 Not sure about Gabby but I'd have a hard time seeing her pull a James Brady, even after being shot. We can never tell though...she flip-flopped on TARP and voted for it.Jon
hobbesgunner Posted November 17, 2011 Report Posted November 17, 2011 How do you think Chuck Schumer will handle my request to vote yea????
planeflyer21 Posted November 17, 2011 Report Posted November 17, 2011 How do you think Chuck Schumer will handle my request to vote yea????What would up-Chuck say?"Even though the overwhelming majority of calls have been in support of a national concealed carry, it is obvious the NRA is behind this lobbying, as most voters aren't smart enough to figure out how damaging the freedom in legislation like this really is. I will vote against it to, er, uh, really to protect them from themselves."Jon
Shaggy Posted November 17, 2011 Report Posted November 17, 2011 Nevada was 3 for 3. Even the democrat voted for it. <thumbsup>
unforgiven Posted November 17, 2011 Report Posted November 17, 2011 Got my bro in henderson looking to retire there,wide open spaces to shoot got to love that.Law enforcement is so stretched out then the possibility of terrorists got to be able to defend family and country.Shoot on bro.
Shaggy Posted November 18, 2011 Report Posted November 18, 2011 That's what I like about Nevada. 7 minute drive for me & I'm shooting as far as I want with no body in sight. :sniper:
MaDuce Posted November 19, 2011 Report Posted November 19, 2011 Clicked and sent IMSCHUR thanks bro Gabby still pro gun?Wow thats outstanding.Shoot on bro. If anything, that mess should have strengthened her resolve. NDEs tend to open people's eyes and let them see the world for what it is, if they don't already.
unforgiven Posted November 20, 2011 Report Posted November 20, 2011 H.R.822 passed 11-16-11 approved 272-154.Shoot on bros.
RayGun19 Posted November 22, 2011 Report Posted November 22, 2011 So, does this mean Illinois residents will finally be able to get a CCP?
edgecrusher Posted November 22, 2011 Report Posted November 22, 2011 not yet, still has to pass senate vote and potus
alelks Posted November 23, 2011 Report Posted November 23, 2011 So, does this mean Illinois residents will finally be able to get a CCP?Not quite. Now it has to go to the Senate and even if it did pass which is VERY unlikely I'd say Obama would squash it.
unforgiven Posted November 23, 2011 Report Posted November 23, 2011 Born and raised on the southeastside of chicago left for northwest Indiana the old neighborhood is up for grabs the CPD I meet at the range and bros still on the force would welcome law abiding citizens to CC they are stretched thin [what I'm told the older guys upon hearing shoots fired will wait,while the young guys will charge in can't depend on who will respond to call]I worry about my mom and sister still in the city.Shoot on bro.
RayGun19 Posted January 10, 2012 Report Posted January 10, 2012 Illinois CCP goes up again in March I guess. We'll see. The Gubner says he will veto any bill for CCP that passes and comes up for his signature. Of course, he says that while surrounded by no less than 4 armed body guards. >:(
