Yuh, I've heard that before. It is all relevant to today, though.
Tomorrow some hand-wringing legislator can express concern that those people from (name a "free" State of your choice) where they can carry a gun without even extensive testing to see if they can handle one safely, can come to our State and pack a .44 Magnum with those cop-killing dum-dum bullets willy-nilly... so we ought to amend the law to specifically disallow that.
That's only one admittedly hypothetical situation. Expand the theory according to your recollections of past activities of the anti-gunners. At root, they don't want anybody carrying guns. Period. Nibble, nibble, nibble, and the 14th Amendment be damned. It's not like they haven't written and passed patently unconstitutional laws before.
If you can't see that, we must permanently disagree.
Yeah, I know it's all "carry according to the laws of the other State you're entering," but opening that kind of door --in terms of next year, or the year after that --bothers me no end, and "bargains" will be struck sooner or later: "Maybe we can tack it onto a wetlands protection bill, eh?"
Camel's nose, and all that.
So pardon my paranoia and adamance about not letting the Feds play with concealed carry.
