[font=Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif][size="+0"]Rep. Johnson's Bill Broadens Conceal-Carry H.R. 822[/size][/font]<br />
<br />
[font=Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif]WASHINGTON, DC U.S. Rep. Timothy V.

<br />
The bill is scheduled to be voted on in the full House of Representatives on Tuesday. <br />
<br />
Cosponsors of the amendment include Illinois Congressmen Bobby Schilling, Aaron Schock, Randy Hultgren and Adam Kinzinger. <br />
<br />
The National Right-to-Carry Reciprocity Act of 2011, or H.R. 822, would allow any person with a legally recognized carrying permit of another state to be recognized in other states that also have permitting laws. However, the bill excludes Illinois and the District of Columbia because they have no conceal-carry rights whatsoever. <br />
<br />
Under Rep. Johnsons amendment, Illinois and D.C. residents would be able to obtain a permit in another state, in accordance with that states background checks and safety training requirements, and use that permit in Illinois or D.C. ... <br />
