Law

"zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz..."

It is November 17 and House Speaker Paul Ryan (R-WI) is ignoring national reciprocity legislation for a 45th consecutive week.

National reciprocity would treat concealed carry permits like driver’s licenses, making the license from one state valid in the other 49. Such a reciprocal system would allow law-abiding Americans to keep their handguns on their persons for defense of themselves and their families as they travel throughout the country.

I guess that when you are the Speaker of the House, and provided with nationwide armed security, you're not too worried about accidentally becoming a statutory criminal. You'd think that Ryan would be a little more concerned about the plight of the great number of law-abiding citizen's who hold state issued permits.
