We have been promised it since last year&#8217;s Presidential campaign. It should have come up in March or April but the House Republican leadership seems to have been dragging their feet on this.<\/p>\n<p>We have seen reciprocity pass the House before only to die in the Senate. <a href=\"http:\/\/onlygunsandmoney.blogspot.com\/2011\/11\/hr-822-passes-house-272-to-154.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">HR 822 passed the House<\/a> by a strong majority (272-154) back in November 2011. As much as some are upset about the pairing of carry reciprocity with the Fix NICS Act, that plus the number of red state Democrats up for re-election in the Senate may be the thing that gets it passed. The main thing in the Senate is not only to get it passed but to get it passed without amendments that would either cripple reciprocity or would add a virtual assault weapons ban to the bill. I could see Sen. Dianne Feinstein trying to do both of those things.<\/p>\n<p>In the meantime, here is the <a href=\"http:\/\/floor.majorityleader.gov\/2017-12-06.pdf\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">schedule for today<\/a> as put out by the House Majority Leader&#8217;s Office.<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"tr_bq\">\n<div style=\"-webkit-font-smoothing: antialiased; background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; color: #7c8998; font-family: Lato, sans-serif; font-size: 18px; line-height: 40px; margin-bottom: 20px; text-shadow: rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.01) 0px 0px 1px;\">\n<span style=\"box-sizing: border-box; font-weight: 700;\"><a href=\"http:\/\/docs.house.gov\/billsthisweek\/20171204\/BILLS-115HR38-RCP115-45.xml\" style=\"background-color: transparent; box-sizing: border-box; color: #00e676; text-decoration-line: none; transition: color 0.4s;\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">H.R. 38<\/a><\/span>&nbsp;\u2013 Concealed Carry Reciprocity Act of 2017, Rules Committee Print (Closed Rule, One Hour of Debate)&nbsp;<em style=\"box-sizing: border-box;\">(Sponsored by Rep.
