How can you be a lawyer in one state and not in the next? Yet that is the case. Your license isn’t good in the neighboring state. It’s bull.
That is not the same thing.
I am not saying I like it. I am just saying it should have been federal from the start just like polygamy.
Read Artcle IV Section I as it provides:
“Full faith and credit shall be given in each state to the public acts, records, and judicial proceedings of every other state. And the Congress may by general laws prescribe the manner in which such acts, records, and proceedings shall be proved, and the effect thereof.”
The case law on this has changed since our nation’s inception, but presently the focus of this clause is to give effect to judgements from other states.
It also of course ALLOWS (but doesn’t mandate) Congress to enact laws to put this clause into force.
They could require states to respect CCW permits from other states, but they don’t have to.
Now the Privileges and Immunities Clause (in my opinion) should prohibit states from denying the right to bear arms to people coming in from out of state.
But that’s another topic.
