Posted by Bob Janova at 4:09pm Sep 30 '11As you say, driving licences provide an excellent analogue for this – your state's is valid in the others, but you still have to follow the motoring laws of that state when you're in it. As long as it doesn't mandate states to change their own rules about what you're allowed to do when you have a permit (either forcing pro-gun states to be more restrictive, or anti-gun ones to be looser, than they want to be) it just seems like a removal of one piece of confusion and therefore good.
This is entirely orthogonal to the discussion of whether letting people carry guns is a good thing in the first place, which states are still (if I understand right) going to decide for themselves.

Seems fairly sensible - Bob Janova
