IMHO the "full faith & credit" clause already provides for national reciprocity. However one benefit to pretending it doesn't is that people tend to actually look up the laws before traveling to another state.baseballguy2001 wrote:I wonder what the reply would be from Libs if the Republicans offered "universal" background checks for Nationwide CHL reciprocity. Texas recognizes lots of other states permits, why not the whole country?
[this next part is not researched at all]
It doesn't matter for things like marriage or drivers licenses, because the state-level laws, especially the ones that have criminal penalties, are fairly uniform anyway.
Gun laws, OTOH... Stuff that's so common in one state that you'd think it was mandated, can be a serious felony in states like CA.
If a law is passed that explicitly mandaties reciprocity, there will a clamor to standardize the states' laws, and I not want the likes of Reid or Feinstein having any input into that.
