A push for national firearms carry.

[Jer]

The solution is to force the recognition of state permits across the country similar to the way drivers licenses must be recognized. I believe it has something to do with "Equal Protection" under the Constitution.

Instead of the fed coming up with its own national CCW, go the equal protection route.

This is the solution but until the requirements become more uniform it won't happen. Some states require more tonget your CCW and it's all over the place. If we could get states to agree on requirements w/o getting the federal government involved this would be the ideal solution. If everyone (or at least 47 of true states who live in reality) could get together & agree on instruction & qualification requirements I think we could finally long ways for nationwide reciprocity. Getting the federal government involved isn't the answer IMO.

Drivers license requirements are not really uniform either (nor are marriage pre-reqs [some states allow non child bearing age cousins to wed for example]). What you describe might be needed for voluntary reciprocity. It is not needed for "comity" through the Constitution.

There have been bills introduced to make reciprocity between CCW issuing states and theybalways die because those who vote it down point to lack of requirements of some issuers. If we can make requirements more uniform I think something like this would be much more likely. I also think it's a better place to focus our efforts so the states think it's their idea (read: more likely to not be fought) rather 55an trying to force it down their throats via comity through constitution. The whole thing is idiotic that we should have to even discuss this though. The thought that someone who passes a background and demonstrates proficiency at some capacity is a bad person simply because they reside across some imaginary line is silly. Well, unless they're from California that is. Lol

I find it funny that "keep & bear arms" is a right and driving is a privilege, yet recognition of DL's is required of states and recognition of state issued CCW licenses is not. WTF???

We do not need a federal CCW permit for a right. What we need is a SCOTUS that will recognize the "bear" part of the 2nd Amendment. Then the states would be forced to recognize CCW permits from other states, as well as issuing their own. The rights of the states do not trump the rights of the people.

If the feds have the right to grant nationwide carry, they have a right to take it away. I'm fine leaving this to the states as was intended. If you don't like your state laws there's 49 others you can try.

If it's passed as a law, then yes, you'd be right. If it's derived as a right under the Second Amendment, however, then no, they couldn't revoke it once a verdict is reached.

The problem is that what Congress giveth (or state legislatures giveth), can be taken away. Legal recognition of comity of CCW makes it much harder to take away through the legislature.
