House passes concealed weapons permit bill

Kľúčový extrakt:
"Under the House legislation, people with a concealed carry permit in one state could carry a concealed weapon in every other state that gives people the right to carry concealed weapons. While states have various standards for issuing such permits, currently only Illinois and the District of Columbia prohibit the concealed carrying of weapons.

People who are unable to get a permit in their home state would not be able to carry a concealed weapon in their home state by getting a permit in another state. A state's ban on carrying concealed weapons in places such as bars, sporting events or state parks would apply to nonresidents as well as residents.

Thirty-five states have "shall issue" permit laws that usually require states to issue permits to those who meet legal requirements. Ten others have "may issue" or discretionary permit laws. Vermont, Arizona, Alaska and Wyoming do not require a permit to carry a concealed weapon."


Veľmi stručný extrakt pre non-English kolegov:
US Snemovňa reprezentanov schválila reciprocitu pri povoleniach na skryté nosenie zbraní.
Držiteľ CCW licencie tak má právo na skryté nosenie v každom US štáte, ktorý svojim obyvateľom CCW povoľuje (momentálne všetky štáty okrem Illinois a DoC). Nezáleží pritom na rozdielnych požiadavkách jednotlivých štátov na samotné získanie licencie.


Pozn: CCW = Concealed Carry Weapon = skryté nosenie zbrane
