My concern with this is the government itself. We all know how, once they get their grubby fingers into something, they use that to exploit things.

For example, giving the government the power to force states to recognize each others CHL may lead to the government deciding that, to better enable each state to know who has a valid CHL from each state, to begin keeping a nationwide database. That may become unwieldy, though, so they may try for a Federal CHL, valid in all 50 states. This would become a de facto registration.

I just don't trust the government to stop with this. Give them a little power and they have historically used that to justify taking a lot more than was ever intended.

An easier way to accomplish this would be for the government to say "The 2nd Amendment applies to all States, period, and no State may abridge any Citizen's right to own or bear arms." I know Heller was supposed to have done this, but that was an imperfect decision by the SC as it still left lots of room for states to restrict carry rights.
