The link below is to an article on a new bill in Congress that would force all states to accept other states' concealed carry (CC)gun permits. Presently, some states recognize some other states' CC permits, but it is far from universal.

I have followed this for a while now with interest. I have an Alabama CC permit. In Momtgomery County one requests the permit and a background check is performed. I am not sure how extensive that check is, but I, and the rest of my family have had no problem obtaining the permit.

My US Navy customer, who lives in Summerville, South Carolina, recently obtained a South Carolina CC permit. His was much more involved, and included class time and actually going out to the range and demonstrating that he knew how to safely and properly operate his weapon.

I can certainly understand why South Carloina does not currently have reciprocity with Alabama. I can also understand, based on some of the news coming out of Summerville and the general Charleston area why an Alabama resident like myself visiting the Charleston area would want to be able to carry.

I don't know any of the details of the bill in Congress, but it would seem that it should carry some minimum requirements for a person to obtain a universal carry permit, while still allowing in-state permits with requirements for obtaining those permits still controlled by the individual states.

I would be interested in others' perceptions and thoughts on this subject.
