I think over 40 states currently have reciprocity with my Georgia permit......
Done at State Attorney General level......
Individual states recognize other state drivers licenses because they choose to, not because the federal government tells them they must. If the federal government has the power to mandate that every state respect another state's concealed carry permits then what's to stop the federal government from telling what is needed to qualify for that concealed carry permit to begin with? It is far safer and less risky to leave reciprocity at the state level where it belongs.
Yet if I dared to bring my properly licensed firearm into Connecticut I could get 10 years in prison.
Why?
“The right to keep and bear arms by those with a justifiable need shall not be infringed.”
Doesn’t really have the same ring, does it?
Beware SCOTUS, ignoring the Constitution, Second Amendment, and Federalist 46 will kick off CWII ...
constitutional carry.
All they will do is say that states have to have equal rules for everybody for issuing permits.
At best they may make it where rich people in liberal states lose their permits.
Who cares what the supreme kangaroo court says? Who keeps bringing cases to them? It’s up to the states from now on.
This Ping List is for all things pertaining to infringes upon or victories for the 2nd Amendment.
FReepmail me if you want to be added to or deleted from the list.
More 2nd Amendment related articles on FR's Bang List.
Fixed.
WTF thinks this is a slam dunk? The Roberts Court may very well rule against the 2A. You file cases there at your peril.
The whole reciprocity thing is illogical. The 2A is a blanket statement saying that RKBA “shall not be infringed”.
It doesn’t limit this to just the States or the FedGov. It applies, just like the rest of the BoR, to BOTH. As it is clearly stated in the Pre-amble to the BoR.
Idiots tried this before... Which is why we have a 14th Amendment now as well. “Privileges and immunities”. With the 2A being an express limit on government power, and thus an “immunity” to prosecution should any idiot, scum bag, traitorous piece of filth actually pass a “gun law”.
But nope... “muh commerce clause”, an NFA tax, and almost a century of BS being used to restrict what should be a basic human Right.
