Slippery slope time. Your driver's license gives you the legal permission to operate a motor vehicle in any state in the Union, but you still have to obey the laws of that state. National reciprocity would end up the same way. States like New York or California, or the District of Columbia could easily pass legislation stating that it's against the law to have any ammunition within five feet of your firearm, and it would have to go through a Constitutionality challenge.
Constitutional Carry is the only real answer. |

Horseshit. Then why have State Constitutions if everyone has to obey the very same shit that the mob wants? And why have State Constitutions if the Supreme Clause is fucking supreme? God da-da-damn public education for the last 75 years. View Quote If you get married in OK, you are regarded as married in every state of the union. Get divorced in CT, you're divorced all over. Get a judgment against a deadbeat in Fla., you can domesticate the judgment in CA and go after him there. If you get convicted of a felony in Georgia, you're a convicted felon in Alabama, too. If the GA governor pardons you, you're pardoned in Alabama as well. That's what it means. It doesn't mean that the speed limit on 2-lane rural highways is 35 mph everywhere because it is in Michigan. Note: There is some question whether you're ranting about the Full Faith & Credit Clause or the Supremacy Clause. I assumed it was the former. |

It's sad that this has to be explained so many times, even on this site. Not sad. And does the recognition of my states rights supersede the states laws to where I am traveling? I can carry in banks in GA, I travel to NC right now and carrying in banks is illegal. Must NC recognize my states' lack of laws that allows me to carry in banks? So your state passed no law prohibiting carry in banks, but another state did, and you're having trouble distinguishing which state had a right to do one of those two things? Holy shit, man, this isn't hard. |

The states should follow the Constitution. No infringing the rights stated there.
So, which is wrong? Forcing the states to recognize and follow the Constitution? Or allowing states to pick and choose which Constitutional rights they feel like "granting" their subjects? |

I've been wary of national reciprocity as well.
Obviously it sounds like a great idea, but it's probably unconstitutional and it sets a terrible precedent. If California started issuing medical marijuana cards, should other states where people opposed marijuana legalization now be required to honor them? |

The Bill of Rights applies to all the states, not just the good ones. View Quote This right here. The BOR is a list of shit that tells the gov what it can and cant do and applies to all 50 states. The right to keep and bear arms shall not be infringed means exactly that. The term shall is slowly being replaced the word "may" in legal circles, so therefore, the right to keep and bear arms may not be infringed (restricted, limited, curbed, checked, violated, transgressed).

View Quote Already posted earlier by FLAL1A, the full faith and credit clause of the constitution proper: Article IV, S.1 USC: Section 1 "Full Faith and Credit shall be given in each State to the public Acts, Records, and judicial Proceedings of every other State. And the Congress may by general Laws prescribe the Manner in which such Acts, Records and Proceedings shall be proved, and the Effect thereof." Under the Full Faith & Credit Clause, Congress could require that any state which issues CCWs must honor CCWs issued by other states. I assume that the restrictions of the receiving state (e.g., no carrying in bars) would apply to out of state carriers, but since NY issues CCWs to big shots, it would have to recognize Joe Shit the Ragman's OK CCW just as it recognizes its own. |

As others have mentioned, states could create laws that can effectively tie our hands.
CA is the epitome of the problem. Even with national reciprocity, crossing the border with gen-4 glock with a standard capacity mag could put you in jail. The ccw law would have to supersede the host state's weapon laws, which I doubt would pass. I know guys on bordering states would gladly be able to drum up legal "travel guns", but we shouldn't have to do that stupid shit for a sidearm. What it comes back to is the feds telling the states what to do, which is still a two way street, depending on which party makes pushes the laws. |
