Although a similar bill failed not long ago, A Florida Republican
and a North Carolina Congressman are gearing up for another try.
Here's Florida Representative Sterns announcement.


STEARNS OFFERS NATIONAL 
RIGHT-TO-CARRY RECIPROCITY ACT
PROTECTS THE RIGHT OF CITIZENS TO DEFEND THEMSELVES


Washington, Feb 23 -
“The right to self defense is unquestionable 
and the right to carry a firearm is recognized 
in our Constitution,” said Rep. Cliff 
Stearns (R-FL).  “Today, 48 states 
have laws permitting concealed carry of a 
firearm in some circumstances, and this 
legislation would allow any person with
a valid state-issued concealed firearm 
carry permit or license to carry a concealed 
handgun in any other state.”
Stearns, joined by Rep. Health Shuler (D-NC), 
offered H.R. 822, the National Right-To-Carry 
Reciprocity Act.  Noted Stearns, “It is important 
to note this bill would not create a federal 
licensing system.  It would merely require states 
to recognize each other’s carry permits, 
just as they recognize drivers` licenses and 
carry permits held by armored car guards.”
Forty states, accounting for two-thirds 
of the U.S. population, have right-to-carry 
laws. Thirty-six have "shall issue" permit 
laws (including Alaska, which also allows 
carrying without a permit), three have 
fairly administered "discretionary issue" 
permit laws, and Vermont allows carrying 
without a permit. (Eight states have restrictive 
discretionary issue laws.) Most right-to-carry 
states have adopted their laws in the last decade.

Added Stearns, “Citizens with carry permits

 are more law-abiding than the general public. 
In my home state of Florida, only 0.01% 
of nearly 1.2 million permits issued have 
been revoked because of firearm crimes by 
permit holders. States with right-to-carry 
laws have lower violent crime rates.  
According to FBI figures, on average the 
rate is 22% lower for total violent crime, 
30% lower for murder, 46% lower for 
robbery, and 12% lower for aggravated 
assault, compared to the rest of the country.”
