Please feel free to contact the "snow bird" contingent (who are they?) and let them know of this proposition. I have been thinking of this for a long while... after a little trouble the State of Massachussetts caused me on a business trip.
I was summoned to Mass. on business. A good friend from college lived in Boston, and we were planning to go to the (only public-access) gunrange (I was able to find in the whole State) while I was there. Naturally, I would have preferred to bring my own weapons. I managed to clear this with Delta (this was pre-9/11) by making a deal: I would be permitted to carry them in carry-on baggage so long as they were FULLY disassembled with components in labelled clear plastic bags and I carried no assembly tools nor ammunition in my carry-on bags, and LE on both sides of the flight were given advanced notice. Seemed a reasonable compromise, one I happily accepted. However, I was informed by the State of Mass. that I would be arrested on arrival at the Logan Airport if I did this.
This hassle annoyed me, and I have been pondering license reciprocity ever since.

The scenario you outlined about flying to Massachusetts is precisely why I have decided to never fly again. The airlines can all go to New York or California for all I care.
I think the U.S. Constitution was basically predicated on the concept that somebody who minds his own business should be left the hell alone.
Amen.
