No, I am not suggesting a compromise. I was just saying I don't think Congress will include a non license state. I expect the bill would read something like " Anyone with a valid LICENSE to possess a handgun ......" One State that comes to mind is Arizona. You don't NEED a license to carry there however they DO issue a plastic license to carry. I also suspect any reciprocity law would be limited to concealed carry and exclude open carry.

The Democratic attorney generals argue that concealed-carry reciprocity would empower gun traffickers, terrorists and other criminals. And they say it would help criminals avoid permit requirements altogether should they assert residence in one of the 12 states that allow gun owners to carry a concealed weapon without a permit.

I don't think the " My State doesn't issue a permit" will fly IF congress passes a national reciprocity law. My logic here is the Drivers License. I just think you would need some type of license for a national reciprocity. The work around I see is people living in a State that does not issue a license (Very few States) they would need to get an out of State license.

I REALLY REALLY HOPE Congress passes this law. The Texas LTC is accepted by most states except the ultra liberal places like NY, CA, IL etc. Not that I plan to drive there but it is would be nice to know my wife or I can travel all 50 without any worries.
