BOSTON - Does the Second Amendment protect New Hampshire residents from prosecution if they temporarily carry their guns across the border into Massachusetts? The Massachusetts Supreme Judicial Court on Monday heard arguments on the disagreement between the two New England states.

New Hampshire men Dean Donnell Jr. and Phillip Marquis were both charged in separate instances of unlawful possession of a gun while in Massachusetts.

Their lawyers argue that since they got their guns legally in New Hampshire, it's unconstitutional for Massachusetts to charge them with felonies under its strict firearm laws.

"Massachusetts can't be less protective than the Second Amendment," Marquis' attorney Hayne Barnwell told the court Monday.

Could be a huge case. If this goes to the Supreme Court, this could give us nationally recognized carry, like driver's licenses or marriage.

Honestly, this should have happened immediately when they ruled on Obergefell v. Hodges making same sex marriage legal in all 50 states. I mean, carry in all 50 states should have been legal way before that, but, still, once the gay marriage decision was made, it should have automatically been applied to conceal carry permits. But now the Court can finally say that carry permits (or lawful ownership) in one state must be recognized by every toher state.

This could easily be tried with regards to Oregon gun laws as well. Oregon CCW permits are actually issued by the county of the permit holder's residence.

Oregon does not recognize other states CCW issues and, unless you are an Oregon resident, you will not be issued a CCW permit except in certain cases with respects to Washington residents. You can open carry but several larger cities restrict such actions. Nor can you carry a loaded firearm in your vehicle if you don't have an Oregon based CCW.

If you are driving through the state, and we did so recently, you have to remove all ammunition from the firearm, put the firearm in a locking case and store the ammunition/magazines in a separate case.

Stupid, stupid, stupid laws that verge on a violation of your 2A rights.

No verge on about it. And if you’ll notice, the places where you CAN’T carry are typically the places where you really NEED to..
