Here’s something else to consider. The federal Gun-Free School Zones Act does not recognize an out-of-state permit even if the state that you’re in does.
And school zones are everywhere.
From Wikipedia:
Although the federal GFSZA does provide an exception for an individual licensed to carry a firearm, this exception only applies in the state that physically issued the permit.
Nearly all 50 states have provisions to issue concealed carry permits to citizens. Most of these states also enter into reciprocity agreements with other states where each state agrees to recognize the other’s concealed carry permits.
Because the Federal GFSZA requires the permit be issued by the state which the school zone is in, it is difficult for a permit holder to travel outside their state of issuance to a reciprocating state without violating the Federal GFSZA.
Minnesota does allow us folks from ND to carry if we have the Class 1 license, of which I do.
I can’t wait for national reciprocity as states like Illinois and Kalifornia will have to let me in armed. A person will have to follow their gun laws such as magazine size limitations and other crap, but at least a person can be armed.
Somehow I imagine a long row of two-sided lockers, built right along the state line by a major highway. Truckers put their arms in on one side—and retrieve them on the other.
Is the Full Faith and Credit clause mentioned in there somewhere?

I would like to see gun control laws declared unconstitutional (because they are).
Short-term, I’d settle for national reciprocity. It’s not ideal, but if one state says you can carry, then the other 49 ought to just accept it. Greenland too.
And yet there have been, or are still, efforts within Minnesota to make it a sanctuary state for illegal immigration.
I prefer the court declare that individual states cannot regulate the carrying of weapons across their state lines over the “National Reciprocity” bill. I don’t need the federal government to give me permission to exercise a right that I already have, and that they didn’t give to me in the first place.
A homo marriage is recognized in all 50 states. So is a divers license. Why not a concealed carry?
Meanwhile, from NYS...
Guess why...
YEAH! With all the illegal aliens and their gangs taking over America, truck drivers should be required to be armed at all times. They need to defend their employer’s property.
Every weapons law is an infringement.
It’s a shame that people are required to go to court (and spend money) for what is so clearly written in the Constitution.
Perhaps truck driver could boycott hauling loads into states that do not recognize their right to protect themselves.
Stuff could get mighty scarce mighty fast if such were done...
Welcome to the Peoples Republic of Minnesota comrade and be sure to show your papers at the border. Please enjoy our free tampons.
Naturally, illannoy too.
Because they know that now they’ll have the support.
It’s great to look forward to 4 years of winning.
Trucks are increasingly being targeted for theft - some of it armed robberies.
They’ll have no fear in states where long-haul drivers, who cross into the state - are not allowed to arm themselves
Regardless, the Second Amendment has no exceptions for state lines.
