[QUOTE="Cougar, post: 486440, member: 3179"] The State of Montana passed a law many years ago stating that it's citizens were "licensed" under their state constitution for the purpose of this law. The reason your permit only exempts you in your own state, is in my opinion, an unintentional mistake in the wording of the law. When Congress passed the law their intent was to exempt permit holders, however reciprocity was not widespread back then and it was an accidental oversight to word it the way they did. The big question, is whether under this law, you are "licensed" by another state because of a reciprocity agreement for the purpose of this law when you are on vacation with your family. ATF says absolutely not and that you are not exempt unless your physical license was actually issued by the state itself. As it relates to this law, the federal courts have never had a chance to create case law defining what "licensed" means so it is up to everyone's interpretation. The democratic thing to do is to have Congress amend the law, so that it clearly exempts permit holders from any state. There should also be an exception for any other firearm lawfully carried or transported under state law. [/QUOTE]
