And, even if that never happened, a national system that was required to track and handle separately all state-specific permit and license holders -- simply for the convenience of those holders -- would require a lot of extra cost/administration. Bad trade-off, in my opinion. Permit/license holders can simply plan a couple of days in advance, or wait a couple of days, like everybody else.
That blanket type law your talking about smacks of federal govt involvement and national gun registry. I don't think ANY of us in here trust the federal govt to stick to the rules.
Got to disagree with you on this one. FFL licensees are dealers, people that make a living in the firearm industry, waiting periods for them would be tantamount to putting them out of business. CCW holders do commit crimes, but the numbers are So low that it seems to me to be a lot of rights trampling for very little benefit.
I think a lot more benefit would come from fixing the loopholes, enforcing the existing laws and making the penalties for Any Gun Related Crime to be more severe
Here are a couple articals that make the point.
