Great. But I can't, as a permit holder in NC. What are the prospects for the governments of NY, ME, CT, RI, MD, or NJ to vote to recognize my permit. NIL, ZIP, ZERO, NADA, I would think. Those statists hate issuing permits to their people; they sure don't want some backwoods hick from NC carrying 3 pistols around in their state.

Again, national reciprocity forces the issue.

To better understand the present system of state carry permit reciprocity, play with these interactive maps at USACarry.com. By clicking on those New England states, you will see that even they don't recognize each other's permits, and many of them won't issue a non-resident permit. So, if you do business in NY and NJ and live in VA, for example, you LOSE your 2nd Amendment rights at the border of those states.
