A federal law that says concealed carry must be recognized by all states can at some future date be replaced by a law saying concealed carry cannot be recognized across state lines. That’s why concealed carry is, and must be, a state issue and any such law passed by Congress should be overturned on 10th Amendment grounds.

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.

Actually, no.
The second amendment is not a state issue. It is entirely within the federal jurisdiction to not allow constitutional rights to be limited by states.
States may try to pass laws to limit concealed carry (and they have) but it is not constitutional for them to do so.
I don’t understand this, could you please explain?
If marriage in one state is recognized in all states, and a driver’s license in one state is recognized in all states, then why not a CCW?

Yes. This idea seems like a bad precedent to set. Isn’t it up to the States, under the 10th Amendment, to set the laws around carrying firearms? Do we really want the Federal Government delving very far into these decisions?
I agree it is up to the states.
I have always been somewhat confused about this. I think states rights should be strong, so states can be different and people can vote with their feet. But if a state denies residents their 2nd amendment rights, does that not become a constitutional issue? It’s not reserved to the states, it is protected in the 2nd amendment.
