From what I read on this it is not requiring any national standards. It is trying to emulate how a driver's license works and requiring other states to recognize our licenses. Basically since we are licensed in our home state that we can carry according to the rules of that state under our residence license. California would fight this tooth and nail though.

What I don't like is the places I feel least safe are the places I can't carry. For example, planning on going to the rodeo and riding the buses in. It would be nice if I could carry all the way there. It would not be so bad if they had metal detectors and searched everyone, as well as providing a place for me to secure my handgun. I think I read about someone suing or trying to create a law that if they ban a firearm, such as Reliant or any 30.06 then they would have to provide a secure place for a firearm. Heaven knows our cars aren't secure enough.

I know, but always good to watch these things and try. If we continue to "give in" we've already lost.

Hopefully I'm not creating an already existing thread, but I thought this was interesting and worth a look.

1/6/2009--Introduced.
National Right-to-Carry Reciprocity Act of 2009 - Amends the federal criminal code to establish a national standard for the carrying of concealed firearms (other than a machinegun or destructive device) by non-residents. Authorizes a person who has a valid permit to carry a concealed firearm in one state and who is not prohibited from carrying a firearm under federal law to carry a concealed firearm in another state in accordance with the restrictions of that state or as specified under this Act.

It is currently in the Judiciary Committee. A few Texas reps on it. Maybe we can help get it passed even in a primarily Democrat environment. There has been three previous versions introduced... and failed.
