To qualifyas a Tennessee CCW permit holder I had to go through classes and range time to demonstrate proficiency. At one time I was an Alabama permit holder. Way back then you applied at the sherrifs office, gave two references and you were generally approved. I think reciprocity for all states would be a wonderful thing. I could travel without worrying about breaking laws, which by the way, criminals don't give a second thought. My concern about a federal "law" would be that it moves control one step farther from the state/local level and into the hands of those who don't think the same way we do in the South. I don't want New York and California Congressmen and Senators deciding if I can carry in Tennessee. I would rather see states continue to work on mutually agreeable licensing requirements, but retain their rights to issue. What would really be great would be a 'must issue" not "may issue" mandate in each state.
