Since neither has anything whatsoever to do with CC, I ask again what constitutional authority would congress have to do such a thing?
I would submit there is no constitutional authority for it, but that has never stopped them before.

That is your interpretation and not the Congress' or the Supreme Court's.
The interstate commerce clause has been used to allow the feds to dip into a great many areas that used to be off limits.
The congress could use those two clauses as it's justification for mandating nationwide reciprocity. You could probably throw in the 2A as well.
At that point a state like Massuchusets, California, or New York would challenge that law in federal court.
Don't we have federal peace officer carry? What constitutional authority allowed them to do that?
