    It happened a few days ago and she walked the comments back within 24 hours, apparently.

    John Commerford, executive director of the National Rifle Association’s legislative arm, said Pirro’s remarks “highlight the need for Congress to pass H.R. 38, the National Concealed Carry Reciprocity Act.” That bill, introduced last year by Rep. Richard Hudson (R-N.C.), would allow anyone with a state-issued concealed carry license to carry a firearm in any other state.

    The cynic in me says it’s staged to drum up support for this deranged bill.

      That bill, introduced last year by Rep. Richard Hudson (R-N.C.), would allow anyone with a state-issued concealed carry license to carry a firearm in any other state.

      While I think laws on concealed carry being more consistent across states would be a good thing, this is a terrible idea. Laws across states aren’t consistent–one state may require some sort of education, for example, while another does not. The one that requires education obviously shouldn’t be recognizing a CCL from a state that doesn’t.

      What about states rights? What a bunch of bullshit politics have become.
