31. No federal CCW instead make states respect other states CCW
Making CCW regulated at the federal level is dangerous. It puts all the power in one place and a change @ Federal level could have lasting impact. The antis only need to win once instead of 50 times.

Good news is there is no reason for Federal CCW. Federal govt should simply pass a "CCW reciprocity law".

Currently lots of things are handled at state level the largest & most common are:
* marriage license
* drivers license
* physician license

However the federal govt does provide authority, mandating that states must respect other states licenses.

A cop in NC can't pull you over and say your VA license is "no good here boy".

All it would take is a similar framework for CCW.
Each state can determine how they enact CCW laws but would be required to respect other states.


Now initially people in CA or NY wouldn't get much but I think that would change.
If NY was required to accept out of state CCW they would have less incentive to make it very restrictive on their own citizens.
