Concealed carry reciprocity

WASHINGTON
Since 2011, North Carolina has recognized permits issued by other states to carry a concealed weapon. But not everyone returns the favor.

Thirty-six states accept North Carolina concealed-carry permits, including Virginia, South Carolina, Georgia, Florida, Tennessee and West Virginia. But Maryland, for example, does not.

Rep. Richard Hudson has long wanted concealed-carry permits treated like driver’s licenses and considered valid as lawful permit holders cross state lines. His persistent efforts paid off Wednesday when the House Judiciary Committee advanced his proposal.

Hudson said the legislation does not affect who can buy a gun or where you can buy a gun and it won’t increase the number of guns bought and sold. He said states and cities can still maintain laws about where concealed weapons can be brought, what kind of guns can be concealed and the size of magazines.

“Each state has to give the full faith and credit, just like a driver’s license,” Hudson said, citing Article IV, Section 1 of the Constitution.

The full faith and credit clause of the Constitution reads:

Full Faith and Credit shall be given in each State to the public Acts, Records, and judicial Proceedings of every other State. And the Congress may by general Laws prescribe the Manner in which such Acts, Records and Proceedings shall be proved, and the Effect thereof.

Two questions. First, do concealed carry permits fall under "public Acts, Records, and judicial Proceedings"? Second, why are states' rights advocates pushing for federal legislation that imposes itself on the independent decision-making powers of states, especially if concealed carry permits are an overly broad interpretation of "public Acts, Records, and judicial Proceedings.?" Also, some of the same people pushing this legislation were opposed to the idea of states that had prohibited same-sex marriage having to recognize same-sex marriage licenses issued in states where it was legal, and marriage licenses are certainly a clear public act.

Is there video of that M&M throw? It sounds impressive.

I suspect those two wealthy white guys and their M&M's are bought for by America's terrorist organization.
