There is no historical, legal tradition supporting the concept of a citizen from one state, who can legally carry a firearm for self defense there, can be forbidden to carry in a different state. The historical tradition is the opposite, with exceptions made for people who are traveling.

I’m no lawyer but I keep thinking about the same—sex marriage issue. Seemed like as soon as one state (MA) legalized same-sex marriage then it became a nighmare for the other 49 — what if a “married” couple from MA moved to another state?? That new state would have to recognize the marriage, right?? And Voila! We get SCOTUS recognizing same-sex marriage in all 50 states.

Well, if you have a license to carry in one state, why isn’t it good in all 50?
