Major concealed-carry bill picks up momentum, steams toward House floor

Gun-rights supporters are eyeing a big win this week as a bill that would make concealed-carry permits valid across state lines heads to the House floor -- though it faces long odds in the Senate amid deep-pocketed opposition from gun-control advocates.

“This is just simple, common-sense legislation that says if you’re a law-abiding citizen … we’re not going to turn you into a criminal just for crossing an invisible state line,” bill sponsor Rep. Richard Hudson, R-N.C., told “Fox News @ Night.”

Hudson says the bill simply attempts to clarify the patchwork of state laws that confuse citizens who can unwittingly get arrested when traveling from state to state.

“All I’m saying is, when I cross the state line, I don’t want to automatically become a criminal,” he said.

Democrats for destroying America hard at work.

I hope this passes. Stopping at every state line to re-read the rules, dress and undress accordingly and storing or wearing my firearm is a ridiculous exercise.

Don't believe this will ever pass. Too much common sense, which never works in congress. Hope I'm wrong though.
