We'll never see a National CCW law. Most likely scenario is Fed mandated reciprocity, hopefully with provisions that would keep "special" places (like NYC) from exempting themselves.
A better law would be a Fed requirement for "full faith and credit" to state permits, so that even states without CCW would be forced to recognize permits from states that issue them. (Would apply GREAT pressure on the non-CCW states to pass their own CCW laws, as out-of-state visitors would be authorized to carry weapons, where residents wouldn't.)
The only chance we have for a "National CCW" is if at some time in the future, SCOTUS recognizes the 2nd Amendment as an individual right, and interprets "keep and bear arms" as meaning just what it says, including bearing concealed arms.
Still, keeping my fingers crossed. Would like to visit NYC, Chicago, and Miami some time. And they are all "two magazine" places.
