The Judiciary committee votes Wednesday. That’s not the full house voting.  This is probobly to pass it out of committee. I don’t know if the next step is another committee or direct to the full house

I didn’t mean to imply it isn’t a significant step forward. I meant that this vote doesn’t send it to presidents desk

The saying goes: committees are where bills go to die. I read that only about 4% of the bills ever make it out of committee.

Please, please, please get it done before I'm too old to even care.

Unless it is NJ -

Why even have a committee meeting

Looks like it passed step 1

1st Paragraph not promising,  second paragraph doesn't sound good for us.

Each state sets its own rules for its own  

The measure, which has been co-sponsored by 210 Republicans and three Democrats, was expected to win passage in the Republican-controlled House as soon as next week. But it’s fate in the Senate is far less certain. Republicans control only a narrow majority in that chamber, where any legislation would need to pick up Democratic votes.

As passed by the committee, the law would treat a concealed-carry permit like a driver’s license, allowing individuals permitted by any one state to carry a concealed gun into any other, regardless of the discrepancies between the states’ permitting criteria. Each state would still be allowed to determine those criteria for its own citizens and all permit holders would be required to abide by local laws.

The way the House bill is currently written a state would have to honor a CCW permit from any other state regardless of state of residence. So someone from NJ could get an out of state CCW and carry in NJ. 

NJ would still set the rules on where/when someone can CCW.  But they can’t discriminate between in/out of state permits.

Ok, who has a class coming up??

I wonder if that would allow NJ to create a new "CCW lite" permit allowing carrying to/from the range and your home. Then, out of state permits are covered under that same privilege. Except they don't have a house, or a range to go to.

They can really only limit carry to public buildings and well defined establishments. It always confused the hell out of me how they could limit carrying in places like church.
