John Richardson has the scoop on this one. Introduced by Cliff Stearns of Florida and co-sponsored by Heath Shuler of North Carolina, the bill seeks to enforce national reciprocity for carry permits.
Two years ago, Senators Thune and Coburn attempted to pass a similar bill by amending it to the Defense Department budget. It failed by only two votes then, and the landscape is much more amenable to it now.
That is, if the Tea Party still believes all that stuff they did last November.
