OK, how about this scenario. Congress passes a law saying that if you have a concealed carry permit in one state then you are free to carry in all the states in the Union that allow it. Massachusetts says that it is federal overreach and that the 10th Amendment allows them to decide concealed carry laws in their state. They will not allow that law to be enforced and that only people with valid Massachusetts permits can have a handgun in their car. Are they right?

Yes IMO. But I’m a big states righter. There was a bill in Congress fairly recently to uniformly insititute reciprocal CC in all states. My US Rep Rob Woodall voted again’st it and I agreed with him. He says its better for the individual states to handle their own reciprocity or else they are ceding power to the Feds that they cannot get back. GA has reciprocal agreements with 26 states and working with others to add to the list. I’m OK with that. Others may disagree.

No. “shall not be infringed” means that the states don’t have the right to infringe (i.e. limit or restrict in any way whatsoever).
