The Senate has rejected the measure on concealed weapons across state lines
We here at Guns and Ammo Enthusiast are gun right’s activists. We are also more in favor of the Second Amendment, and removing all illegal gun laws from America. (Every law since 1934 is a violation of the constitution). So with that said we are pleased that this law failed. Simply because we want all laws repealed, and no more laws passed. While initially we loved the idea of this law. We realized this law was just a conformation of a laws stating you need permission to carry a concealed firearm. Hence a violation of the second amendment! So here is the report from the Anti Gun Nazis AP.
Gun control proponents scored a rare victory as the Senate rejected the carrying of concealed weapons across state lines.
The 58-39 vote Wednesday defeated a measure giving people with concealed weapons permits the right to carry their firearms into other states that have similar gun laws. Sixty votes were needed to approve the provision, an amendment to a defense spending bill.
It is an unusual setback for the gun rights side, which has been able to muster majorities of Republicans and pro-gun Democrats to move its agenda through both the Bush and Obama administrations. Opponents say the concealed weapon proposal would force states with tough gun laws to accept gun-carrying visitors from states with weaker laws.
