Congressman Thomas Massie, R-Ky, chairman of the Congressional Second Amendment Caucus, has introduced H.R 2909, the D.C Personal Protection Reciprocity Act. This legislation would allow individuals with a valid concealed carry permit issued from their home state to carry their firearms in the District of Columbia.

Doesn't help a lot of us in MD, but it's a step in the right direction.

I had the pleasure of shooting with Tom at PG County Trap and Skeet a couple months back. Genuinely good man, I hope to see more like this from him.

If you read down toward the bottom, he suggests this could be a gun litmus test. It may not tell us much we don't know. However, an "on the record" vote close to the midterm could give us fresh ammo.

I'll say it once, I'll say it again. No one will vote differently between this bill and the others sitting in committee.
Might as well do those since they're nationwide.

They should help constituents by passing national reciprocity before they help themselves.

iH8DemLibz · Jul 7, 2017

Needs an amendment.

.....carry permit issued by ANY state.

Then a lot more Marylanders could carry down there.

Or is this an add-on to the Mo Brooks "Carry for me, but not for thee" act.

Carry for me not for thee

swamplynx · Jul 7, 2017

Looking at the bill text, it appears to make DC shall issue, as well as CCW legal if you have a permit from ANY state.

... not bad, but as other have said there are already at least two other bills that accomplish the same thing. What's the point!? Let's push through national reciprocity and be done with it.

swinokur · Jul 7, 2017

HR 38 already does this and has been sitting in committee for months.

And allows carry in any state including NR permits.

Who cares? you could not pay me to go to DC even with an AK strapped to my back. Traffic sucks, everything is overpriced, its always crowded, there is always some protest somewhere, and to top it off you are rarely 100 yards from a sensitive building, embassy, or big fat target. oh, and its swampy muggy hot in the summer. go ahead, try to get out of DC if there is an "incident".

Who does this help? politicians, lobbyists, and their aides.

NO.

What do constituents have to do with it? Filthy rabble.

motorcoachdoug · Jul 8, 2017

so who do we need to call or what needs to be done to get it moved out of committee?

swinokur · Jul 8, 2017

Rep. Trey Gowdy IIRC

motorcoachdoug · Jul 8, 2017

Then mabe its time to start making phone calls and E mails..

NO.

Then stay home, but there are many other working stiffs that necessarily travel in and out of the District all the time. Not saying this is a panacea, but it doesn't hurt.

swinokur · Jul 8, 2017

yep. agree

danb · Jul 8, 2017

The simple fact is that if this can pass, so can national reciprocity. Who is going to support this and not national reciprocity?

This bill only serves to out the congress critters that need to be unemployed.

If blue dog dems still existed (and I don't think they do), I could see a few potentialy supporting this, and not support national reciprocity, under the false flag of "state's rights."

Since the blue dogs are now extinct, I agree with you 100%.

It is annoying how so many things good that do happen seem to just skip right over Maryland.
