S.176
Latest Title: A bill to establish minimum standards for States that allow the carrying of concealed firearms.

(This is being called the "Common-Sense Concealed Firearms Act of 2011" - from her website: Senator Boxer?s legislation would require all states that allow residents to carry concealed weapons to establish permitting processes that would include meaningful consultation with local law enforcement authorities to determine whether the permit applicant is worthy of the public trust and has shown good cause to carry a concealed firearm.)

OnTheFly:
Rick,

I have tried to follow your links, but only the link to Lautenberg's newsroom and the Lautenberg PDF document worked.  I tried also to search the Library of Congress for the aforementioned bills, but could not find them by number or title.

Could you post some better links?

Thanks,
Fly

Well I hope the Republican Bulwark in the House of Representatives will shoot all this nonsense down.

And the NRA has stated that with the 2010 election there are now supposedly 50 "A rated" Senators which would be half. If all 50 and one B rated senator votes no on all the measures, those bills will die. And again, hopefully none of this will even have a chance in the House.

SFC Stu:
Senator Boxer and Congress is not going to tell the states how to run their CCW laws!
I'm not going to consult with anyone about carrying a firearm Senator! I hope you understand that!
