So... should there be reciprocity among states regarding carry permits for firearms?

Of course.

A drivers license issued in State (A) is honored in State (B), despite the fact that the two States have slightly different testing criteria, or even age requirements.

If a State issues carry permits they should honor the carry permits of other States.

So, you would then support being required to hold a New York driver's license in addition to your Connecticut license in order to legally drive into NY state?

As would you too Paul?

If those states chose to require it then yes.

They never would though because if they did it would kill tons of local businesses.

If a state really wants to? Sure.

Why should every other state have to give away the right to set their own concealed carry policies just because Alabama issues you a permit if you pay 50 cents and agree to only shoot brown people?

It is like you two are stuck on stupid. The car analogy is laughably stupid.

NY has every right to say no and those who enter the state have to respect their laws. There are a massive number of permits that are unique to each state.

Get over your dumbass selves.

Your understanding of the matter is flawed. Firearms permits (and driving licenses) are handled at the state level, not at the level of cities within a state. That is not to say that a city might not sometimes, in actual practice, dictate policy for the whole state (as is the case in New York), but this is a state issue, not a city issue.

So, if New York decided you needed to have a separate driver's license, even though you were licensed in Connecticut to drive within the borders of their state, you would support such a measure.

Weak and absurd. A state only has to give full faith and credit to another state's determination if that state was qualified to make it. One state has no jurisdiction to determine who can carry concealed weapons outside its own jurisdiction.

Now if NY was trying to prosecute someone for carrying a concealed weapon in Alabama and that person had an Alabama CC permit...that would be a full faith and credit situation.

On the other side of the issue from driving is gay marriage. Should states have the right under DOMA to ignore marriage licenses issued in other states? Apparently so, since no case has made it to the Supreme Court to my knowledge.

The Driver's License analogy is flawed for me because I do not get a license in one state to go to another and use my car to kill people. While I support harsher gun control across the board (and perhaps equal for that matter), different states may have different gun controls in place at this time due to varying crime rates and circumstances. Reciprocity, as put forth here, allows me to circumvent one state's laws if I need to in order to get what I want to accomplish a means to an end. See Virginia vs. DC gun laws. If I'm not mistaken guns are purchased in Virginia and then carried into DC?

That said, regarding the specific article in question:

It is often quoted that ignorance of the law is no excuse. The marine is pleading ignorance of gun law. Should it not apply to firearm law in this case?
It is often quoted that if you are going to be a gun owner, you should know gun laws where you are going to be carrying as well as firearm safety in general.

Note: I'm repeating what I've heard gun owners state. I tend to agree.

My initial thoughts at any rate.

I have a Washington concealed carry permit.

I cannot legally cross the Oregon border with my weapon concealed upon my person because Oregon has no reciprocity, despite the fact that the licensing requirements are absolutely identical.

Hilarious: If I change my holster from a concealed inside-the-waistband carry to an open carry - I can now legally cross the border with the weapon on my person, because Oregon (like Washington) has unrestricted Open Carry.

This is retarded, and it needs to be fixed - but the idiots hear "gun" and completely discard all logic and reason in favor of unthinking fear. rolling_eyes

I wouldn't be surprised if something like that did actually happen. New Jersey and California have some pretty absurd gun laws which were strict by even the now defunct Brady Bill laws.


It's good to see so many libs going on record as being in support of States' Rights though.

You are such a total moron. Full faith and credit is only due to valid judgements. Lack of jurisdiction invalidates a judgement.

If California comes out tomorrow and says "we flipped a coin and determined Metalface's building permit in Ohio should not be approved" you can't take that to Ohio and demand they stop Metalface from building his nerd bunker.

A state has no jurisdiction to determine someone is qualified to carry a firearm in another state.

Relying on the full faith and credit clause marks you out as a brainless moron who has no understanding of basic legal concepts.

When a State authorizes an individual to carry a concealed weapon it is clear they have done so within their lawful jurisdiction. The Act, which authorized the Records, as a direct result of a judicial Proceeding... should therefor be given Full Faith and Credit by other States.

Which doesn't include the other state. How dumb are you?

If New York is prosecuting you for concealed carry in in Alabama and you have an Alabama permit that violates full faith and credit.

But the Alabama permit only applies to carry within Alabama. New York has to recognize your right to concealed carry within Alabama, but full faith and credit doesn't require it to let you carry in New York because Alabama had no jurisdiction to make that decision in the first place.

To be fair, your statement was kind of absurd Jorrdan.

Further, the statistics don't agree with you.

You are in truth, about three times more likely to kill someone in another state with your car as you are with a gun...

There are almost 3 times as many vehicle deaths each year as there are firearms homicides.

There are around 250 million passenger vehicles owned in the US, and there are around 30-35k vehicular deaths per year.

There are around 200 million privately owned firearms in the US, and there are about 12k firearms homicides per year.

If you limit the firearms homicides to those committed with legally owned firearms the numbers get even more lopsided.

It seems that we should regulate driving more carefully if you ask me.

It is the intent I am speaking of behind the purchase of a firearm in one state and carrying it into another (some people actually do buy them for purposes that are not good which is why I used the DC/Virginia state line example) whereas with a car when I obtain a license my intent is to drive; not to kill people with the car (accidentally or no).

This is a stupid argument. There are even cities with different carry laws than the rest of the state. Obviously being able to tailor laws to fit the situation is good.

There are some states that recognize each others permits though.

To be fair, your statement was kind of absurd Jorrdan.

Further, the statistics don't agree with you.

You are in truth, about three times more likely to kill someone in another state with your car as you are with a gun...

There are almost 3 times as many vehicle deaths each year as there are firearms homicides.

There are around 250 million passenger vehicles owned in the US, and there are around 30-35k vehicular deaths per year.

There are around 200 million privately owned firearms in the US, and there are about 12k firearms homicides per year.

If you limit the firearms homicides to those committed with legally owned firearms the numbers get even more lopsided.

It seems that we should regulate driving more carefully if you ask me.

Intent or not, you're still more than 3 times more likely to kill someone with your car than a gun.

Further, do you really think that all people who carry firearms do so with the intent of killing someone?

Crossing state lines is an incidental part of life for lots of people, myself included. I fairly regularly cross state lines (not as regularly as when I did so on a weekly basis), and I carry a gun when I'm in my home state. My intention is certainly not to kill anyone.

So then you think that laws which make it illegal to carry weapons in a given state are a deterrent to those who carry a weapon into a state with the intent to commit an illegal act with that weapon in that state?

What does any of this have to do with reciprocity for concealed carry permits?

If you want reciprocity, write to your state legislator. It is not a constitutional issue.

No it did make sense as your first question to me indicated because you tried to imply that concealed carry didn't enjoy 2nd amendment status. Hence you understood perfectly well what the point was.

This is you trying to drag my point back to a comfort zone for you, where you can try to beat it down with petty legal nuances, versus getting to the root of the question.

You think the 2nd amendment gives people the right to concealed carry? Why do you care about reciprocity then?

None of your arguments make any sense. If the issue is the 2nd amendment reciprocity is irrelevant.

No, the argument makes perfect sense which I will now illustrate with your already provided help.

You asked:
Yukishiro1 posted:

The obvious implication that you're attempting to make, to counter my original question is that somehow concealed carry is not protected by the intrinsic right to bear arms.

To this I responded by asking if our intrinsic first amendment right is vulnerable to government interference because we are doing it over a medium that the founders did not foresee.

Your attempted point is that the founders didn't foresee small firearms that can be concealed, hence your argument that no 2nd amendment status applies. So based on your very own rational, I asked you that question.

Now, do you support the constitution or not? It is simple as that. And if you don't like how the constitution applies, then I suggest going about getting a constitutional amendment to the Bill of Rights to rectify that. But remember that our rights are inherent before you get yourself all wound up in pursuing a curtailing of them.

Actually, no I don't and I just went back and read your original question more carefully because I couldn't figure out why you would even follow this line of questioning. I tend to agree with it [reciprocity] once the carry permit has been granted. I was thinking more along the lines of circumventing the law to actually obtain the permit originally to cross state lines. I tend to get more liberal when it comes to the actual granting in the first place (and wanting stricter controls) as I think we've discussed. My fault. Long day at work and skimming. happy

New York's infringement of 2A rights has nothing to do with reciprocity of carry permits.


Reciprocity of driver's licenses was purely voluntary between the states. Most have great reciprocity for carry permits as well. We don't need the federal government to interfere in this. What we need is a clear ruling on our right to BEAR arms (not just possess, as Heller and McDonald covered recently).

Then it is up to the states to determine the method for that. Texas bans open carry in any form. Until a couple months ago, concealed carry was illegal in all of Wisconsin, but Open Carry was legal everywhere (now WI has CCW permits as well). Vermont doesn't issue permits, so there is no reciprocity in other states for their residents, yet anyone can carry there, either open or concealed.

New York needs a method for everyone to carry legally. The fed doesn't need to interfere in that process, just make sure the method exists (and is useable).

Are you really this dumb?

If it's a 2nd amendment issue reciprocity is irrelevant. If the 2nd amendment gives you a right to carry concealed you don't need a permit and you certainly don't need reciprocity.

Reciprocity only matters if you conclude the constitution doesn't forbid all concealed carry legislation.

I know you to be a little bit more rational on this topic and was surprised you were heading the direction I thought you were too.

For what it's worth, there is an incredible morass of stupid and inconsistent firearms laws. Many of which are designed solely to harass law abiding citizens and make firearms ownership and/or carry just too much of a pain in the ass to deal with (e.g. Illinois), others state that they technically allow you to carry, but carry permits are granted on what's called a "may issue" basis, which means that they are granted only at the discretion of whatever issuing officer (typically a county sheriff) in states such as these (e.g. NY and NJ) it usually means that they simply don't grant any carry permits, though technically you could get one - if the county sheriff thinks your reason is good enough (virtually never).

Other examples of stupid laws - it is presently legal to "open carry" in I think 40 states. This means you can just have that 45 in its holster on your hip or in a shoulder holster plainly visible. However, if you want to then wear a coat that might conceal it, you're breaking the law unless you have a permit to carry concealed...

Pennsylvania is in interesting case as well - Open carry is legal in PA and it is a "shall issue" state with respect to concealed carry (this means that you can get a carry permit unless there is an objective reason to deny it such as convictions, etc.). However, in PA while you may legally "open carry" while on foot, you may NOT carry a loaded firearm in a vehicle unless you have a concealed carry permit...

The bottom line on the issue is that there is presently a bill that has passed the house by a fairly large margin which would force states to recognize carry permits from other states. We shall see if it passes the senate - the margin by which it passed the house leads me to believe it has a pretty good shot - quite a few house dems voted in favor of it... we shall see.

States should be free to reciprocate or not.  It is ultimately up to the citizens of the state to decide.  And it's the only way for gun owners to have some say in the matter.

If you are for gun laws, nationalization of the topic should make you incredibly nervous.  Gun laws for the nation will end up being written by it's cities the instant you try to nationalize anything.

Lack of reciprocity is problematic though unless states grant CCWs to non-residents (for reasonable fees). Otherwise people become a felon by crossing a state line - like the guy in the original article.

I do agree though that the "may issue" status for some states for CCW permits needs to go. Issuing authorities in those states have created a de facto "will not issue" status. States must at the very least all become "shall issue" imo.

How about going the old Wisconsin method? Open Carry only. I have a problem with being forced to pay for a permission slip for "shall not be infringed".

Paying for extra privileges (concealing) is OK by me, as long as there is a method for everyone to carry without paying.

Paying for extra privileges (concealing) is OK by me, as long as there is a method for everyone to carry without paying.



That'd be fine too, except open carry is a little messy. What happens when it's winter and you put your parka on? Now you're concealing...

Further, there are places that technically allow "open carry" but LEOs take the approach that if you insist on doing so, that they are going to do everything they can to make you change your mind, including wrongfully arresting you, just because they can, over and over and over, until you give up on it lol.

I just deal with it. I've got a goofy "tacti-cool" thigh rig I can use if I have a parka on (pretty rare here).

Plenty of others have had issues with cops. So far, other than one dumbass deputy, I've been lucky (I was threatened and detained, but it ended well at least). But the cop thing is getting better in most areas. Partially because a bunch of private citizens have gotten paid.



Sure, "Constitutional Carry" would be great everywhere. But I'll settle for any method that allows carry without paying for a permission slip. If you want to pay for the convenience of concealing, that's fine too.

Also remember. The Mercatus Freedom Index is meaningless and has very little to do with freedom.

It's fairly rare to see, but yes it's legal in most states. What's the difference between a fat Outposter walking around with a gun stuffed in the front of his belt and a fat policeman with a gun? The Outposter probably practices a lot more.
