Simplistic

From the Corfield v. Coryell opinion quoted:
Quote:
The inquiry is, what are the privileges and immunities of citizens in the several states? We feel no hesitation in confining these expressions to those privileges and immunities which are, in their nature, fundamental; which belong, of right, to the citizens of all free governments; and which have, at all times, been enjoyed by the citizens of the several states which compose this Union
From which JimDandy posits the following:
Quote:
Any US citizen should be able to travel from their state, to any other state bearing arms in some fashion.

Requiring FOID type permits to purchase long guns, and/or ammunition or for the simple act of bearing arms is unconstitutional if those cards are not readily available for non-resident citizens without foricng the disarmament of those citizens by an unarmed trip to the location.

A state that allows concealed carry must either allow a non-resident permit of equal cost, effectiveness, and availability as the one to residents OR honor the permit of any and every other State and Territory of the Union
But do we know that possessing or carrying a weapon outside the home is a fundamental right (outside the 7th Circuit)? If not, then a citizen of one state cannot have the right to actively bear arms in another because it is not a fundamental right.

So, let's don't put the cart before the horse. Let's get an explicit decision from the Supreme Court holding that the 2A includes the fundamental right to bear arms outside the house. Then we can worry about the other stuff.
