Senate's No. 2 Republican pushing gun bill
By Tim Devaney - 02/27/17 04:04 PM EST
Gun owners could carry their firearms across state lines without risking jail time under new legislation from the Senate’s No. 2 Republican.
Currently, gun owners who are permitted to carry firearms in their home state face difficulties traveling out of state with their guns.
The Constitutional Concealed Carry Reciprocity Act introduced Monday by Sen. John Cornyn (R-Texas) would require states to recognize gun permits from law-abiding citizens in other states. The bill has dozens of Republican co-sponsors, but would need support from at least eight Democrats in gun-friendly states to pass.

As much as I like the idea of having this protection, what business does the federal government have in telling states that they must accept the standards of other states?
