Conceal Carry Reciprocity

[Bassbob]

Travel is, in fact, a constitutional right; and if the 2A is flexible enough to apply to modern systems (TV, radio, internet, modern firearms), then it would apply to modern modes of travel as well.

That’s a stretch. It may be unconstitutional to restrict a law abiding citizen from traveling, but operating a motor vehicle on a public road is expressly a privilege.

Every state has their own traffic laws; eg, speed limits, right turn on red, using mobile devices, etc.

It’s on the driver to know the laws when they drive in that state.

Carry should be no different.

Disagree. Driving is a privilege. Being armed is a constitutional right. Unfortunately, the states have to be forced to obey the Constitution.

No, states preempt laws on federal highways; see: speed limits on interstates.

There is not one set speed limit on interstates; it can change at the state line according to different to different state laws.

Hans, with all due respect, I'm pretty sure states can and sometimes do "preempt" federal hiway laws with federal approval. Without it, the feds typically withhold federal hiway funding. I guess it's a 'tit4tat kind of thing. But state law cannot supersede federal law if there is a federal law concerned. By the same token, states cannot be forced to enforce some federal law.
