I think over 40 states currently have reciprocity with my Georgia permit......
Done at State Attorney General level......
Individual states recognize other state drivers licenses because they choose to, not because the federal government tells them they must. If the federal government has the power to mandate that every state respect another state's concealed carry permits then what's to stop the federal government from telling what is needed to qualify for that concealed carry permit to begin with? It is far safer and less risky to leave reciprocity at the state level where it belongs.
Yet if I dared to bring my properly licensed firearm into Connecticut I could get 10 years in prison.
Why?
“The right to keep and bear arms by those with a justifiable need shall not be infringed.”
Doesn’t really have the same ring, does it?
Beware SCOTUS, ignoring the Constitution, Second Amendment, and Federalist 46 will kick off CWII ...
Because the people of Connecticut benefit from the presence in the State of other people, who actually know how to drive. It might inspire them. Guns, they don’t like so much.
i just used Connecticut as an example...it’s right next door to my state.
constitutional carry.
All they will do is say that states have to have equal rules for everybody for issuing permits.
At best they may make it where rich people in liberal states lose their permits.
I don't believe so. Pre-Obergfell states were not required to recognize same-sex marriage licenses from other states. Some did, others did not. You could not get married in Massachusetts, for example, and then move to Missouri and file taxes as a married couple. Drivers license reciprocity is the same. States accept them because it's to their benefit to do so not because the federal government says they must. And there are limits. Just because a 14 year old can drive in Kansas doesn't mean they can in California.
Who cares what the supreme kangaroo court says? Who keeps bringing cases to them? It’s up to the states from now on.
Your argument makes sense. Reciprocity being a states issue makes sense. The RTKB arms, being a God given and constitutional right, however, shall not be abridged. So, in my mind, I read that as: While I may have to abide by another states laws when crossing state lines with a firearm, no state can prohibit me from having a firearm for legal purposes.

Why?
Because they said so.
The authorities do not want an armed peasantry that might strenuously object to their orders.
Fixed.
Some licenses, like marriage licenses, yes, are required to be recognized under the “full faith & credit” clause. However, the courts have never ruled that clause extends to driver’s licenses, or carry permits.
I'd like to take politics out of these decisions, it's a right granting by founding documents, the SCOTUS needs to finalize that.
