8th Circuit rejected Second Amendment challenge to Minnesota gun permit reciprocity law. Truck drivers argued Minnesota’s permit requirements burdened interstate travel and self-defense rights. Court ruled the reciprocity statute expands rather than restricts firearm carry rights. Panel found the Constitution does not require states to recognize all out-of-state gun permits. [More]
Hasn’t the Supreme Court weighed in on this already?
It would give to persons… the right to enter every other State whenever they pleased… and to keep and carry arms wherever they went.”
Aside from the “give” part, what’s the issue?

There’s also this in The Constitution of the United States:
Article IV, Section 1:
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.
Remember when certain states had their skivvies all wadded up when some other states started to recognize gay marriage? How is a marriage license deserving of more respect than a concealed carry permit? Easy answer is that the Left favors gay marriage but not concealed carry. Yet that’s exactly why we have a constitution and a bill of rights. So that one side doesn’t get to impose its preferences on the other side if and when it suits their fancy.
If my drivers license and my marriage license are valid in all 50 states, why isn’t my concealed carry license? Another easy answer, and Chief Justice Roberts isn’t gonna like reading this, because some Leftist states have taken it upon themselves to overrule the Constitution of the United States and the Supreme Court has allowed them do so.
