@Celt, this is how I'm reading it.
“(a) In General.—Notwithstanding any provision of the law of any State or political subdivision thereof to the contrary—
This is self explanatory to me.
“(1) an individual who is not prohibited by Federal law from possessing, transporting, shipping, or receiving a firearm, and who is carrying a government-issued photographic identification document and a valid license or permit which is issued pursuant to the law of a State and which permits the individual to carry a concealed firearm, may possess or carry a concealed handgun (other than a machinegun or destructive device) that has been shipped or transported in interstate or foreign commerce in any State other than the State of residence of the individual that—
“(A) has a statute that allows residents of the State to obtain licenses or permits to carry concealed firearms; or
“(B) does not prohibit the carrying of concealed firearms by residents of the State for lawful purposes; and
This is telling me that if you have a license in your home state to carry and the state you are going to also issues licenses to carry, you can carry there.
“(2) an individual who is not prohibited by Federal law from possessing, transporting, shipping, or receiving a firearm, and who is carrying a government-issued photographic identification document and is entitled and not prohibited from carrying a concealed firearm in the State in which the individual resides otherwise than as described in paragraph (1), may possess or carry a concealed handgun (other than a machinegun or destructive device) that has been shipped or transported in interstate or foreign commerce in any State other than the State of residence of the individual that—
“(A) has a statute that allows residents of the State to obtain licenses or permits to carry concealed firearms; or
“(B) does not prohibit the carrying of concealed firearms by residents of the State for lawful purposes.
This is telling me the same as above except it's for people that come from states that don't issue carry licenses. IE Alaska, Vermont, ect
“(b) Conditions And Limitations.—The possession or carrying of a concealed handgun in a State under this section shall be subject to the same conditions and limitations, except as to eligibility to possess or carry, imposed by or under Federal or State law or the law of a political subdivision of a State, that apply to the possession or carrying of a concealed handgun by residents of the State or political subdivision who are licensed by the State or political subdivision to do so, or not prohibited by the State from doing so.
This is telling me that you are subject to the states rules that you are going to. IE Texas. No carry in bars and where signs are posted. NY. No threaded barrels, ect. You have to follow the same laws as the citizens of that state follow in regards to carry.
“(c) Unrestricted License Or Permit.—In a State that allows the issuing authority for licenses or permits to carry concealed firearms to impose restrictions on the carrying of firearms by individual holders of such licenses or permits, an individual carrying a concealed handgun under this section shall be permitted to carry a concealed handgun according to the same terms authorized by an unrestricted license of or permit issued to a resident of the State.
This is self explanatory. You have unrestricted carry in whatever state you go to.
“(d) Rule Of Construction.—Nothing in this section shall be construed to preempt any provision of State law with respect to the issuance of licenses or permits to carry concealed firearms.”.
This is self explanatory as well. It is saying that this bill does not dictate the process for the issuance of licenses to carry by a state.
