The 14th Amendment applies applies the federal BOR to the states so the National Concealed Carry Reciprocity Act is constitutional.
Case closed.
I agree with you. However, try that legal approach in NJ. I have had CCP from several states over the last 25 years or so. My current permit is recognozed as valid in 34 states. I can't visit my Sister in NJ unless I go unarmed or jump through a series of ridiculous hoops by disassembly of pistol, put disassembled pistol in a locked container, and store ammunition in a separate compartment of my truck. (Read truck bed) All of those hoops are accomplished at the Pennsylvania border. Then when I get to her home I must reassemble the fire arm and have available for self defense. Bottom line.....I don't go to the State of NJ for any reason.
Lets see if I got this right:
State cultural differences allow the different states to mandate different abortion restrictions? Nope.
State differences allow some states to enforce Jim Crow Laws? Nope
State differences allow some states to impose additional restrictions on self-incrimination? Nope
State differences allow sone states to prohibit carrying arms? You bet!
The basic problem is that, though keeping and possessing of arms are without a doubt Constitutional, appeals to raw mindless emotionalism has kept the principle from being uniformly institutional.
