Analysis

This bill is very straightforward in the majority of the country. Where it gets interesting is in places like Washington, D.C. Does the allowance of concealed carry preempt the prohibition of firearms?

This law would be a magnet for lawsuits by states and cities.

Unfortunately, given the nature of the current House leadership, this bill will not make it out of the Judiciary committee.
