There may be forty states with somewhat reasonable gun rights, but the fact is that interstate carry is a hopeless morass. I have carry licenses/permits from my home state plus three others, and I'm still only legal to carry in something like 32 or 35 states. And even that is unclear, at least to me, due to the fact that some of the states that honor licenses from my "other" states only honor them for residents of those states.
I should not have to consult the web sites, the attorney generals, and the state police commanders of every state I might wish to visit in order to determine whether or not my RKBA is respected in that state. If my state of residence sees fit to grant me a license, the other 49 should respect that.
There's even a clause in the Constitution that says so: "Full faith and credit." If the granting of a state (official government) license to me by an agency of the state government isn't an "act of the government," then what is?
