I had a thought come to me and would like to see what others think of it.


So what if the legislature passed a shall-issue national permitting system with its own requirements and application? This permit would allow the license holder to carry in all 50 states and D.C. Of course, the license holder would be subject to the laws of the jurisdiction in which they are carrying.

While I understand the hypothetical situation that you are proposing. There is absolutely no way that the federal government would not mess it up. Best case would be to treat it like driver's licensing and give some minimum training requirements and then let the states manage the permitting and require reciprocity, then limit the states ability to institute "opt out" legislation. This is still not very good. If the federal government wants to limit the states in one area, then they will feel free to limit the states in whatever area they please.
