“driving is only a privilege not a right”
It would have been enumerated as one had the founding fathers conceived of government practically prohibiting travel without permission.
driving is only a privilege not a right
Driving could be, I think; argued as a right under the free association clause. Perhaps not an absolute right but a right nevertheless. One of the best ways totalitarian states have to control populations is to restrict movement. Being able to pick up and leave is a right.
Before the advent of automobiles this could be seen as the ability to own a horse or wagon. Neither was absolutely necessary to go somewhere else but they made the process exponentially easier.
Being able to own a firearm is a right like free-association. There may, as with freedom of speech be some broad limits placed upon that right (Can’t make death threats, yell fire in a theatre and so forth) but neither can be abolished or substantially curtailed without tyranny.
Concealed Carry reciprocity should not be needed. Should and are different things and this is a law that is needed. At least in some form.
For what it’s worth, I do not carry a firearm. This is a safe place and the protection is not needed. But, if I lived where I did not feel safe then I would carry.
