House Passes National Concealed Carry Reciprocity Bill
Well, the house finally passed a bill that essentially would make all states who issue concealed carry permits, honor permits from any state. This would take a lot of the guess work out of the national travel problems that current concealed carry holders face. Currently only Illinois and DC do not honor any form of [...]

Utah concealed weapons permits now invalid in N.M.
New Mexico is no longer recognizing Utah’s concealed carry licenses in New Mexico, saying Utah’s license requirements don’t meet New Mexico standards.
