Gun Rights vs. States' RightsBy Robert VerBruggen, November 10, 2011 10:48 P.M. Evidently, the House is likely to pass a bill that would require states to respect concealed-carry permits issued in other states — even if the traveler’s home state has very different criteria for awarding a permit. Concealed carry is a good idea, and so is reciprocity when states enact it voluntarily - but this is a bad idea, as it goes beyond the proper functions of the federal government.

GOA Urgent Alert House Vote Coming Soon on CCW Reciprocity Bill freenorthcarolina.blogspot.com/2011/11/goa-urgent-alert-house-vote-coming-soon.htmlResidents can get an out-of-state permit, but under H.R. 822 they would be unable to carry in their home state.

"the right of the people to keep and bear Arms, shall not be infringed."
The only real answer is Constitutional carry and anything else is in itself and infringement.

RKBA and Art 6 Para 2 "Supremacy Clause". Some Rights, like those in the BoR, even the States can't take from you. Shall not be infringed/laws of any State to the contrary notwithstanding...
