    "Backers, led by Sen. John Thune, R-S.D., say truckers and others with concealed weapons permits should be able to protect themselves when they cross into other states. Opponents say the measure would force states with strict procedures for getting permits to accept permits from states with more lax laws"

    Hope this goes through and take the hassle out of travel. :smt066

    The bill was favored by a vote of 58-39 but fell short by 2 votes to reach the needed 60 votes to become law.
    Back to the drawing board.....perhaps with some language they could get it passed.

    I fear the "new" congress we'll have soon. Don't hold your breath waiting.
