I started a thread here on that sting a few months ago. Grizz described a sting in which the feds opened a gun store in a school zone, which isn't what happened here. If Grizz was referring to that story he misremembered a few key details.

If you Google "BATFE sting operations" you'll find any number of articles describing multiple BATFE operations in different cities, in which they opened head shops or storefronts in school zones and then set out intentionally to entice underage kids to buy guns from them or for them. Enticements included booze, probably marijuana, and in a couple of instances free tattoos.
In brief, the BATFE wasn't catching criminals, they were creating criminals. Can we spell E-N-T-R-A-P-M-E-N-T, class? But it's all good. They're from the government, they're here to help. |

And for those who travel, people have pointed out that your home state's permit doesn't work for a school zone in the other state you may be visiting. Apparently even if that state recognizes your permit for the purposes of concealed carry in fit of unimaginable stupidity, it doesn't count for the Federal law.

I don't know, but not from what I've been given to understand from discussions on here. Some technical language thing where the state recognizes the permit, but didn't actually issue it so didn't license you. I don't know.

But, if the State recognizes my out-of state licence as valid are they not indeed issuing Me a license to carry in their state? Therefore meeting this criteria,
possessing the firearm is licensed to do so by the State |

Read strictly, that means if you are in, say, Florida, you need a license in your possession that says issued by the State of Florida. There is no reason to read the code any other way. It's more than a Good Idea to obey Federal law.

Doesn't that standard actually make it HARDER to get the "full faith and credit" when another state recognizes your permit? Could a state- in theory at least, craft legislation stating recognized permits are for all purposes equal to those permits issued by the state itself or some such? Federal trumps State obviously, so it would have to be designed in a way that is obviously trying to get to this end... in such a way as to recognize them for this, without forcing people to go through the red tape and expense of getting and maintaining another piece of paper. For that matter A) is that a grounds to challenge that narrow part of the law on, and B) If so, has it been done? C) What possible compelling government interest is there in making someone double up on an official piece of paper, generating more records, expenses, and wallet bloat, to do the exact same thing? |

Stop trying to read what you wish it said, and read what it does say. |

I'm not trying to read anything into it.
If the Laws were so damn cut and dried and meant exactly what they said, we wouldn't need Lawyers and a Supreme Court now wold we. |

Steve, sometimes the laws are clear, sometimes not. This is a case where they are.
When you said: Quote:
There is a difference between a state honoring a license and issuing a license. They don't issue you anything. If I drive into Kentucky, the state doesn't give me a Kentucky Driver's License. They just honor the fact that I have one from my home state of Indiana. |
