That bill, introduced last year by Rep. Richard Hudson (R-N.C.), would allow anyone with a state-issued concealed carry license to carry a firearm in any other state.
While I think laws on concealed carry being more consistent across states would be a good thing, this is a terrible idea. Laws across states aren’t consistent–one state may require some sort of education, for example, while another does not. The one that requires education obviously shouldn’t be recognizing a CCL from a state that doesn’t.
The compromise would be that a certain minimum standard Would be required and if it states Concealed carry per meets that standard then it would be recognized Everywhere and if Is too loose then other states could freely deny reciprocity, states would probably have the federally compliant version and this in-state only version, or just get rid of the end State only version leading to de facto Federal standards for concealed carry comma probably set to equal that of California or New Jersey or something So that they have no reason to complain
