Is this referring to a right protected by The Constitution of the United States of America?
“A well regulated Militia, being necessary to the security of a free State, the right of the people to keep and bear Arms, shall not be infringed.”
Yes? Then it applies to every state. Period.
Like freedom of speech, freedom of religion, freedom of the press, freedom of assembly, right to petition government, protection against unreasonable search and seizure, protection from warrants without reasonable cause, etc.
I say yes. I live in Arkansas (Constitutional Carry State) and have a CCP so I can legally carry when visiting Grand Kids in Louisiana.
Well, we’ll know in the very foreseeable future if Trump’s Supreme Court picks were worth all that political capital that was expended to put them on the court. If the Court can make all states accept the homosexual marriage licenses issued in VT, CA and NY, then the Court can - and SHOULD - make all states accept gun licenses - even those that are essentially pro forma and/or Constitutional - from each other on the same principle.
But, don’t hold your breath. That’s not going to happen because the Chamber of Commerce doesn’t care about your 2nd Amendment rights and they’re the ones who picked those three Justices.
No SCOTUS cases on point? I would think someone would have tested this vis a vis the Full Faith and Credit clause.
Of the two Constitutional Carry states which claim to limit Constitutional Carry to residents, North Dakota recognizes permits from 37 states.Wyoming Recognizes permits from 40 states.
Then you write:
Here is the reciprocity status for the 18 Constitutional Carry states:
Followed by a state-by-state rundown of how many other state permits that state recognized.
Presumably 16 of those 18 Constitutional Carry states allow non-residents to Constitutionally Carry within their state, so why would they need to recognize any other state's permit?
Now, there are some states that require that another state recognize their permit before they will recognize the other state's permit, but other than that what am I missing here?
NH accepts permits from a lot of places but not any Northeast state. That’s kind of funny.
“FREEDOM!”

Why doesn’t Texas have constitutional carry?
In short, “it depends”.
As with Licensed reciprocity, one must be familiar to a reasonable degree the CC laws of the states you are travelling through and to in order to not be in violation of those several states’ CC/OC laws.
As with licensed CC, or OC, each state has a body of law that governs what is lawful within its borders.
For example, my home state of Missouri recognizes all CC licenses and has constitutional carry ( called “permitless carry”).
The statues does not differentiate between residents of Missouri and residents of other states for either mode, licensed or permitless. The bottom line is that anyone not otherwise prohibited in their state or by federal law/court order etc. is authorized by statute in Missouri to carry with or w/o license/permit.
However ( remember I stated off with “it depends”?) Missouri law differentiates between licensed/permitted concealed/open carry and “constitutional/permitless carry.
For example, carry, open or concealed in a school is not authorized and is a potential felony IF not licensed/permitted ( IOW, constitutional/permitless” carry) but, if licensed or permitted by MO or any other state, concealed carry in a school is not a crime, period. RSMO 571.107 lists 17 situations and areas where carry is not authorized, but not a crime if in possession of a ( any) license or permit, but a potential felony if not so licensed.
On the other hand, until this legislative session, any carry on public transport was a felony! Soon that will go away as the Missouri legislature passed a bill eliminating such a stupid provision and the governor will sign it.
Know your states’ laws, and get familiar with the laws of the states you will travel through and to.
National Reciprocity for licensed/permitted carry if not managed centrally via a national license would be great. Iron curtain states like IL, NY MA CT MD CA etc. will be forced to recognize other states’ acts of law as required the US Constitution.
If centralized database if required ( IOW, each state submits licensee/permittee to the FED Gov), then it is a form of gun/person registration and currently forbidden by federal law. Choose carefully. I have no doubt the feds, if required to enact reciprocity, will make it a registration system and I will not agree. Missouri Law prohibits the release of CC license data to anyone other than a LEO or court for active investigation purposes, not general information or fishing....
It depends.
Carry always, secure your firearms when not on your person, avoid those places/states where you are infringed ( don’t feed the tyrants), practice realistically and know the laws of where you are.
Shoot to stop, until the threat stops, but only of you are reasonably in fear of life or limb.
as allowed by your jurisdictions’ laws.

Jesus Guy first and foremost.
Some a$$holes in the Tennessee General Assembly or the governor’s mansion are deliberately holding up constitutional carry for unknown reasons.
