The following is a proposed amendment ( No. 1618) to the FY 2010 Defense Authorization bill (S 1390):
http://thomas.loc.gov/cgi-bin/query/z?c111:S.371:
A BILL
To amend chapter 44 of title 18, United States Code, to allow citizens who have concealed carry permits from the State in which they reside to carry concealed firearms in another State that grants concealed carry permits, if the individual complies with the laws of the State.
Seems to allow a person who holds a permit from any state to carry in any state (except Illinois and Wisconsin), and also, persons who live in Alaska and Vermont would be able to carry in any state (except Illinois and Wisconsin) without a permit.
Let's hope this passes. Hopefully the NRA, GOA, SAF and others will put the pressure on the pro-gun democrats and republicans to get this passed
