The NRA isn't lying to you Aunty M. You do have those rights. There are places where you will have to fight city hall to enjoy them but the fight needs to be engaged. The NRA has limited funds and they apply them where they believe they will do the most good. I shouldn't say 'they' because in this case 'I' will do. I contribute whenever finances permit. I have a concealed carry permit. Not possible without the NRA's efforts. I don't have the exact number of states that honor each other's carry permits. I do know the number is in excess of 40. Have to check their web site to be sure. I also agree with the premise. If your state has taken your $6o., in this case, and vetted you and issued you a permit. That permit should be honored in all 50 states.
If more citizens joined the NRA and voted their rights the issue would be a non-issue. But as long as voter apathy rules, and as long as there are those people that know how you should live your life better than you do hold sway your rights will be in need of constant defence.
One facet of any politician that may be trying to get my vote is his/her stance on the Second Amendment. I try not to be a one issue voter, but the aforementioned stance carries a lot of weight with me.
There is a misunderstanding that occured earlier when Go Harley mentioned the First and Second amendments. I meant to imply that the First Amendment (and all the others for that matter) stand on the shoulders of the Second.
If this country loses the real meaning of the Second Amendment to the snake oil vendors of the gun grabber groups, includiing the UN. It will be just a matter of 'when' not 'if' that the First takes a hit in the name of "bla blah" or some other BS justification.
Put away soap box.
BTW in both England and Australia the disarming of the populace has created an asymtotic rise in murder, rape and muggings. Easy prey for criminals who don't give a Rat's derriere about the laws of the land.
They just don't get it.
