But the Feds would not be "controlling" CCW. Each state would still be issuing (or not) its own licenses. ALL this law would do is require that other states recognize the validity of what your home state has done. In short, it codifies the intent of the Full Faith and Credit clause of the Constitution. Nothing is taken out of the hands of the states except the dubious "right" to deny visitors the rights granted both under the Constitution and by their home state.
The worst they could do is repeal the law and set things nack to the patchwork we have now. But to go beyond that and "take over control" of CCW is not something this proposed law would in any way pave the way for. That would be something entirely different, and the Feds either could or couldn't do that today. Passing this law would not in any way affect the possibility or probability of a Federal "takeover."
