Wisconsin-Based USCCA President Tim Schmidt Discusses Concealed Carry Reciprocity
U.S.A. –-(Ammoland.com)- The United States Concealed Carry Association (USCCA), a Wisconsin-based organization providing education, training and self-defense insurance to responsible American gun owners, will be featured on 60 Minutes for a segment with CBS News this coming Sunday, February 11, 2018.
The House has passed the Concealed Carry Reciprocity Act that would allow Americans licensed to carry concealed firearms in their own states to bring those weapons legally into other states. Steve Kroft takes a look at this common-sense legislation that the U.S. Senate could pass and send to the President for his signature. His report will be broadcast on the next edition of 60 Minutes, Sunday, Feb. 11 at 7:00 p.m. ET/PT.
The interview, which will air across the nation, will feature expert commentary from Tim Schmidt, the Founder & President of The United States Concealed Carry Association on gun rights and legislation moving through Congress.
BACKGROUND:
The United States Concealed Carry Association has been urging lawmakers in Congress to follow through on their promise to pass national concealed carry reciprocity, which would ensure that concealed carry permits issued in one state would be considered valid in the other 49 states. U.S. Senator John Cornyn (R-TX) introduced the Constitutional Concealed Carry Reciprocity Act through S.446 last year and Congressman Richard Hudson (R-NC) did the same through the Concealed Carry Reciprocity Act of 2017 in H.R.446. The House bill has passed the U.S. House of Representatives. Both bills would ensure that concealed carry permits issued in one state would be respected in them all.
60 Minutes has won more Emmy Awards than any other primetime broadcast, including a special Lifetime Achievement Emmy. It has also won virtually every other broadcast journalism award, plus 15 Peabody awards for excellence in television broadcasting. 60 Minutes was created in 1968 by Don Hewitt and premiered on CBS September 24th of that year.

Jake, you claim victimhood and that all you wanted was to discuss ideas. Well, on numerous posts I requested that you do just that, and rebut my posts. All you ever did in reply was, yet again claim victimhood and regurgitate your tripe. You have been called a fraud because that is what you are. You piously claimed that only you are the arbiter of what is reasonable. We have on many levels explained how you are not the only voice nor our master, and pointed out the facts, logic and reason as to why we believe in our Constution… Read more »
Jake, yet another verbose post that again rails against our rights and you again play victim and fail to discuss or rebut my post. You claim you want discussion of ideas, but you don’t actually do such. You just want to rant about how you are right. You also appear to lack the ability to comprehend our rights and the four simple words that explain clearly to all who aren’t fools, “shall be infringed”. All the laws thus far have failed to prevent murder and other crimes, but one more regulation/law/concession will solve the crime problem? Address my last post… Read more »
And back in reality… while you are correct, the real world will take your guns and put you in prison for what is absolutely constitutional. Maybe after a million dollars in court costs, you can get your name clear, but still probably not your guns back. Not a risk I want to take. Pass the reciprocity as a stop gap, and keep pressure up for the restoration of our Constitutional rights in full.
While we work back to that, we need steps to protect us from the leftists running several of the states we have to deal with and move through.
Jake, you have yet to discuss any ideas I have presented, even when I have repeatedly requested you to do so. You repeatedly leave the same verbose bs that we have all rebutted with facts. You are free to post “ideas”, however, what part of “shall not be infringed” are you having difficulty with? Any limit, ban, compromise, concession or any other word you want to use to abrogate our rights is an infringement. No, we can’t allow our rights to be infringed upon any further. All we have done is concede and then the anti-rights people just want more… Read more »
Well folks, Team Troll has been kicked off the field and no longer allowed to play so I’m going to invoke a time honored tradition, among some, of shunning them on this post, and one one other, for future comments. I don’t know what WildBill, OldVet and others will do but I’d point out that when you deny the trolls a venue and make it an empty room, except for them, they tend to dry up and blow away like dust.
Adios guys, see you on another topic.
Oh oh, two flags on the play against Team Troll. One for untruthfulness on the field and the other for not answering direct questions. Sorry Team Troll but you’ve forfeited the game to Team Constitutional Values. See you after your coach, @JVC receives counseling.
Jake, your feigned victimhood is pathetic. The only “attacks” you suffered were differences in opinion. You chose to claim victimhood rather than rebuttal, believing your emotions rather than facts and logic would “win the day”. You have been exposed as a fraud because you have been unwilling to debate facts. You have never rebutted any of my posts, except to claim victimhood and your self-perceived supremacy over us.
What a crock of shit.. Anyone reading what I said in my posts can use COMMON SENSE and see that I was the one with differing OPINIONS of your and I have CLEARLY explained why. Don’t try changing the narrative because all the posts are available to read. You know you and your little buddies are the real trolls here.. But even worse, you are all the biggest threat to the rights we have under the 2nd Amendment. You lack of listening and debating other opinions is an extremely dangerous thing to all of us. You think YOU are right… Read more »
Molon Labe We ain’t giving up anything jake. The dems will do what dems have always done, and that’ll never change.
The best way to foil the dems plan is NOT GIVE INTO THEM. That is our ONLY recourse at this point.
otherwise we’ll lose ALL of our guns, because THAT IS THE DEMS LONG TERM PLAN.
If you want to concede go ahead, but I’d rather die on my feet than live on my knees.
At this point, we only have that choice as you put it.. After what the President said yesterday about due process AFTER seizure and after the democrats posted the text of the law as they want it with full on semi auto everything ban, finding a middle ground is no longer possible even though I had hoped it might work to reduce the ‘pressure’ from the left on this issue. If they were able to get Trump to change that position and others.. we are going to lose. Make no mistake about it. It is becoming clear.. Somehow they are… Read more »
Jake, no, you lost all credibility many posts ago, we have not lied. You are the only one that has been the fraud and subsequently been exposed. Unlike you we believe in our rights as guaranteed by our Constitution.
Alrighty there folks, since we have a winner in the multiple choice question of who can expose the trolls we’re now moving on the the bonus round. This part isn’t a test but just for your added pleasure, because @WildBill did so well we’re giving out the fun fact if the day: Did you know that the cost of a Ghost Gunner CNC machine is around $1500? But, did you also know that you can get a few friends together, split the cost and all of you can make as many AR15’s (for your own use only) with absolutely no… Read more »
@Grundy: Ah me, just one more to deal with. So many lies, so much time. We engaged Jake, Joe and all you other trolls who wanted to toss unfacted, baseless “facts” and just plain outright lies. The problem with.most of you, especially the one calling himself Jake is that it was impossible to have a logical discussion because: 1. He avoided answering questions he didn’t want to answer and diverted to something else (a common tactic among Liberals) or 2. He gave an answer that was a complete fabrication of the truth and, when confronted with the truth, claimed he… Read more »
So you even make up shit and lie because you don’t have a true valid argument? Talk behind my back like a coward.. Take your bullshit elsewhere. It is apparent those like you should not be carrying a firearm because it is now clear you lack ANY common sense or responsibility. I am tired of asshats like you that think YOUR idea of what should be is the way it should be and that no one else should have an opinion as I do. Well fuck you. When you get OFF YOUR ASS and serve YOUR country and actually stand… Read more »
You really do not know how to read do you Vanns? Name ONE LIE I stated… Name ONE question I did not answer with MY opinion. Name ONE BASELESS fact I stated. You can’t because you do not have a VALID argument against COMMON SENSE and responsibility when it comes to those of us that support the 2nd Amendment. You and some others sit behind your keyboards and spout nothing but your moral bullshit about how the 2A is the 2A and there is no such thing as ANY kind of morals needed, required or that should have a say… Read more »
@Jake, Here is one lie: “So you even make up shit and lie because you don’t have a true valid argument?” We did not make anything up. We took valid arguments from the historic and legal record of debates about the Second Amendment. We asked a few simple questions. You refused to answer. You challenged our credibility, so we provided our credentials, but you did not reciprocate. Here is one of your baseless facts: “…Talk behind my back…” Pretty hard to talk behind your back on a website. Here is another baseless fact: “… ANY common sense…” There is no… Read more »
@Jake QOUTED “You sit there spouting your crap as all literal.. and I have said numerous times, I HIGHLY DOUBT the founding fathers intended for the 2A to sit there and never grow with society.” QOUTED Is that why the 2nd A states that :” the right of the people to keep and bear arms shall not be infringed” ? LOL FWIW… if we continue to delete/amend the Bill of Rights as determined by the Founding Fathers, we’ll soon end up with NO RIGHTS at all. Which is where the liberal socialist progressive marxist democrats are in a helluva hurry… Read more »
IF you had read all my posts, it would have been clear that I did not and do not advocated in ANY way removing, infringing on, or limiting anyone from their 2A rights EXCEPT for violent felons and mental nutcases. But instead of reading all the posts to see what I actually said, you jump on what a few others spout.. where they are twisting what I said to fit their own skewed sense of reality. What I have SAID and maintained this entire argument is that gun owners need to use common sense and responsibility. Once I said those… Read more »
@Jay: And yet ANOTHER troll comes out from beneath his bridge. Geez, they breed like roaches.
Vanns, yes, apparently they have found this site. It’s amusing that they even post here, since the regular posters are typically pro-USA, pro-Constitution, and pro-rights, the site itself, based on the site name and commentaries and stories posted on it are clearly pro-rights. However, they serve as useful targets to sharpen and hone our ideas on our rights. I have learned a lot from the site contents and the comments from both sides. The anti-rights posts have taught me that they have no facts, reason nor logic to their arguments against the USA, our Constitution, and our guaranteed rights protected… Read more »
@V and H, The low level paid propagandists think that they have found a gold mine of responses. Rather than jumping through hoops to produce an income for them, I am currently conducting a one man letter writing campaign to pressure my president, senators, and congressman to decline the DNC ploy of any gun control, which will, surely, divide them from their voting base.
Grundy, Jake did not want a discussion, and Vanns and WB were not the only ones posting comments rebutting him and other anti-rights people. If Jake wanted a discussion, he would have responded to my numerous posts that were rebutting his exceedingly verbose posts, and the numerous times I requested a rebuttal. He clearly only wanted everyone to agree with his anti-rights stance – we don’t. We believe in our Constitution and in our rights as guaranteed by that document on which our country is based.
Bullshit. Conversation is DIFFERING OPINIONS is one thing. Being attacked outright because my opinions don’t match yours, is not a discussion. AND THAT is the mistake you are all making and why we already have 11 states that are truly anti gun.. Because you can’t seem to get it through your thick heads that you can be and stand and act like a tough guy all you want… but liberals are doing an end around you all because you refuse to even bother looking at the ENTIRE situation. Mark my words… IF liberals ever again get the presidency, the senate,… Read more »
I put forth that the main reason we have 11 states that are anti gun, is because our government officials have allowed illegal aliens &, criminal illegal aliens from mexico , to overun our US borders to the tune of 11 million of ’em, and have allowed muslim extremists from the middle east to be shipped here totally unvetted (by obama) and have allowed socialist marxists teachers and professors to teach our young people in our schools and colleges as well as run for office in our government.. The rest are just knee jerk thinking people who cannot think logically… Read more »
You actually backed up the very argument I have been making: “we have 11 states that are anti gun” and the reason “knee jerk thinking people who cannot think logically for themselves and believe whatever they see and hear” Isn’t the irony thick here? The “knee jerk reaction” that my posts with MY opinions brought on? I don’t advocate in any way restricting or infringing on the 2A and I have made that clear. But I DO advocate DISCUSSION and ideas that might show everyone else we gun owners understand the issues and have the common sense and responsibility to… Read more »
Jay, easy access to ARs? I believe the guy did buy his firearm at an FFL and did pass the NICS background check. There are many other tools that could be even more deadly. You state that ARs are more effective at killing that vehicles? Mnay more were killed in one attack in France with a truck. Easy access to ARs in the USA, then why didn’t the man who ran over all those pedestrians in NYC use a rental truck rather than the “easy to obtain” AR? Why are over 1,600 homicides by hands, feet an fists, if ARs… Read more »
@Heed…Don’t forget Oklahoma City, 168 dead many were children !
Heed–
the deadliest school murder was not arson, but an explosive. Are you talking about Bath, Michigan.?
Yes, you are correct, even though full was still legal then, the killer still didn’t use that “easy to obtain” weapon, which just proves my point.
Jake. We hear you. I wouldn’t pay too much attention to vann and Bill. They’re just trying to generate activity on the site so they can make money off the ads. And if not they are just know it all bullies without much experience. Keyboard warriors you might say!
Send your money directly to us, we take cash, PayPal, we don’t care. Then we’d all appreciate it if you trolls would just scurry back under the bridge you came from till the next tragedy when you think you can dance in the blood of the dead to score points.
@Vanns, I would feel guilty accepting gratuities from uneducated, unskilled, unemployables, that are forced to accept jobs as low level propagandists rather than having an honorable job, and doing an honest day’s work. Perhaps they could send my share to GOA, CCFKBA, or JPFO. Then scurry back!
@ W.Bill and Vanns Marshall p and Grundy must be the supervisors and they had to call them in because they were drowning in their own stupidity. Maybe just kids, huh?
And here we go, yet again 🙂
Jake, you have added nothing to the discourse on this topic, except for the same extremely verbose diatribe railing and ranting against lawful firearm owners, and crying about ring a victim.
I’ve followed this from the very beginning and I’ll make one comment only. The person calling himself Jake is a fraud, both in his service and his experience. He disgraces those who actually work to serve others and the country. For whatever it’s worth I suggest we all move on. There are far more important things to discuss.
@TennX, Avec pleasure. You are right, of course, but I must reserve prerogative to respond should Jake attempt to misrepresent the issues involved, here.
@TennX, The more I think about it, Jake must be one of the Civil Rights reduction movement… incognito.
F*** YOU. And for the record, I was retired in 2014 due to my 7th COMBAT injury, United States Navy. I served over 30+ years along with being a part time sworn deputy sheriff. I am now a 70% physical, 100% rated IU as a service connected V/A disabled Veteran. As far as I am concerned, you are nothing but a coward and a piece of s*** that probably has no clue what it takes to choose to stand up and walk the line.. You people make me sick. The fact you pounce on me because in some areas I… Read more »
@Jake, The rational argument from our perspective, that we have stated many times, is that what you suggest is an unconstitutional infringement. How odd that you have not picked up on that with so many saying it, so often. By the way what was your MOS?
@Jake, I have been following the discussions but have stayed out of commenting because you are up against W. Bill and Vanns40 both are true patriots and very concerned about losing our 2A rights. You bark up the wrong tree, maybe because you have been in the Navy so long that you do not know how to think for yourself without having to take an order. Anyway, if you think lengthy mandatory training will get anyone anyplace I agree it will. It will give the anti gunners all the fuel they need for their fire that is headed toward taking… Read more »
QOUTED F*** YOU.QOUTED
No we’re not into that homosexual sex ting jake.perhpas you should try it on yourself ?
Says the guy that asks us to give in to the dems asking for more gun control laws.
Shhhesh , give me a break………
@Jake …Yeah Right and I’m POTUS. Don’t Believe one word of your resume !
Its true, he is the POTUS. He does this in between tweets and MAKING AMERICA GREAT AGAIN! Sammy is his special assistant.
Ahhh Oldvet and Wild bill… you two and Vann share a treehouse together? You’re like simpleton children.
Make a valid argument.
Oh right, need to have half a brain between you for that.
(Evidence: almost every post you write. Which is a lot of evidence because it seems your full time job is posting on Ammoland! Losers)
