Someday, CCW permits issued to law-abiding citizens who
have taken the steps necessary to obtain proper training
and background checks will be honored nationwide, just like
our driver's licenses and marriage licenses are.

In the meantime, see the following:

Rep. John Hostettler (R-IN) will soon be reintroducing his
national reciprocity bill that protects the right of
citizens to carry their firearms into other states.

Hostettler's language has a huge advantage over other
reciprocity-type bills in that it does not punish states
for being too pro-gun. His bill would not penalize citizens
from states like Alaska and Vermont, because his proposal
doesn't require a citizen to first get a permit to enjoy
reciprocity in another state.

Most carry bills in Congress seek to establish reciprocity
ONLY between gun control states. These bills force people
to jump through officially-mandated hurdles and get carry
permits before they can carry firearms into neighboring
states.

But now that more and more states are debating whether to
adopt Alaska/Vermont style carry laws, it is important that
the federal government NOT penalize citizens from those
states.

Rep. Hostettler's bill, known as the Secure Access to
Firearms Enhancement (SAFE) Act, is just what America
needs. His draft would allow law-abiding citizens who can
legally carry in their home state -- even without a permit -
- to carry all across the country.

And, of course, for those gun owners who already HAVE
concealed carry permits, the SAFE Act will provide complete
nationwide reciprocity.

ACTION: Please ask your Representative to cosponsor Rep.
Hostettler's concealed carry bill, the Secure Access to
Firearms Enhancement (SAFE) Act of 2005. This bill -- which
will probably be introduced on Thursday, so it doesn't yet
have a bill number! -- will guarantee Americans the ability
to carry firearms from one state into the next.

Representative a pre-written e-mail message.
