Now here is the kicker, as the writer articulately brings to light: “By using the Constitution in such a manner, the Court argues that the Due Process Clause extends “certain personal choices central to individual dignity and autonomy” accepted in a majority of states across the state lines of a handful of states that still banned the practice. The vast majority of states are “shall issue” on the matter of issuing concealed carry permits, and enjoy reciprocity with a large number of other states. My North Carolina concealed carry permit, for example, was recognized yesterday as being valid in 36 states, which just so happened to be the number of states in which gay marriage was legal yesterday. But 14 states did not recognize my concealed carry permit yesterday. Today they must.
Using the same “due process clause” argument as the Supreme Court just applied to gay marriage, my concealed carry permit must now be recognized as valid in all 50 states and the District of Columbia.“

“They’ll just say that it is different, since guns are a public safety issue. But it is nice to think that they might allow the same rules to apply to our issues as much as theirs.”

Except that it has been proven to make the public safer so unless they, aww, what am I saying? No way SCOTUS is going to start doing the right thing. Obviously the move to bring down America has been infected at every level of gov.
Just say you conduct estate settlements in all 50 states transporting valuable goods and you need to feel safe in those other 14 states. If ‘dignity’ can cram this law on us,
‘safety’ SURELY can.

but what people don't understand is that there is no rule of law....the law will be interpreted differently as the political winds blow...
Yea sure. The law is no longer like that people. They enforce how the left sees fit.
Me too!
Pack fudge, pack a gun, legally the same principles apply...
...and besides most gays weren't born into the gay lifestyle, they were sucked into it.
Just marry your gun and you’ll be good to go.
Face it, the SCOTUS makes up “law” out of thin air to go along with the zeitgeist. They practically admitted it on Friday. As Roberts wrote in his dissent (paraphrasing), “Celebrate this if you like, but don’t celebrate the Constitution, because this decision had nothing to do with it.”
Allen West is forgetting that the main lesson of yesterday and the day before is that the words of the Constitution or of any law are irrelevant. What matters is the opinion of the justices. Black can be white. State can be nation. Marriage can whatever they feel it is at the moment.
So, arguing that this means that doesn’t make sense when we’re told that it means what they say it means at that moment.
This argument is based on the assumption that the rule of law still prevails. Not even close-those days are forever behind us.
Another side-effect is LGBTWHATEVER will soon not be the attention getter that so many of the LOOK AT MEEEE!!! crowd uses.
What about all the other licenses, permits, etc.
If I have a Barber’s, Beautician’s, Nurse’s or Doctor’s license in one state, should not that be recognized in all the other states as a liberty issue (per this SCOTUS decision) with no need to get a license in any state to which I move? What about lawyers?
That should NOW be TRUE after yesterday's ruling.
My vehicle license plates and driver's license are honored in ALL states when driving through. They always have been.
After yesterday's ruling CCL should now fall under the same.
They will turn and twist the words to ensure a double standard exists. They will get their way while we get the shaft.
Don’t use the term “get the shaft” when referring to homos.
I used it on purpose.
Love is being married to a warm gun.
