A measure currently making its way through the U.S. House of Representatives would extend the reciprocity rights of those with valid concealed-carry handgun permits to legally carry for personal protection in all 49 states that currently have a permit system in place.

The best whitetail hunting of the year is occurring right now through the first 10 days of November. It doesn't matter if you're armed with a firearm, bow or muzzleloader ... now is the time to be out and after those crazy whitetails.
