This is precisely the sort of problem the Constitution empowers Congress to solve, giving it the authority to have states extend "full faith and credit" to each others' public acts.

Although I believe Alan is going to be one of the more prominent pro-2A lawyers for the next few decades, I believe he misses a vital point in his statement.

When you give Congress ANY 'authority', you subject it to abuse by the anti-gunners.

Say the Thune Amendment was made into law. Now, some anti-gun zealot can use it to put uniform requirements to be met by the states on a national level, including records of permit holders and a set of stringent qualifications that no one can meet, thereby effectively eliminating CCW.

While the variations in qualifications for permits varies from the states, it is put upon the State departments of public safety to resolve those differences.

The Feds have screwed up almost every and any gun law passed.
