What some of you folks keep forgetting is that recognition of State issued DL's is that the States made compacts to observe them. The feds not only had no authority (they still don't), but were never involved with this. Nor should the feds be involved in concealed carry. It is purely a State powers issue. And yes, I know full well that an enacted law is valid until the Court says otherwise. That doesn't mean I'm wrong. Merely that no court has actually adjudicated the LEOSA as a constitutional issue. Frankly, anyone who says LEOSA is good law, or that National reciprocity would be good, is merely agreeing to the feds to increased power. |

An interesting conundrum.

I never thought anything to the contrary, perhaps you have confused statements made by others ? Quote:

I am however, a bit dubious of doing so on a Federal level for the reasons Al pointed out. BTW gc70, thanks for the links, good reading material.

The other approach for citizens - national reciprocity - would be based on a probably unconstitutional federal licensing scheme that would open a nearly unimaginable array of legal issues involving state licensing powers. Quote:

The reason for my reluctance ? ; Quote:
This is an excellent point, and, while I would not advocate this If the LEOSA were ever challenged on constitutional grounds, with the flimsy foundation it is on, it could likely be rescinded by the courts. If nationwide reciprocity were instituted on a State level, and then a compact agreed upon at State levels, the FedGov, and courts could not easily touch it. Besides, kool-aid makes my scotch taste funny.

See Brown v. Board of Education, for one example of that "unscrew." There are others. Quote:
If it ever is put under a judicial microscope, it will come from a police chief or sheriff who is already in a jurisdiction that has no concealed permits and simply wants to take back control of his own officers. You will note that there was no congressional finding that subverting State and Local laws, was linked to any congressional authority. It merely added to section 921 of Title 18 USC. |

Keep it by state, keep it safer. Takes longer but works better IMO.
