If the federal government was required to institute a shall-issue permitting system that did nothing more than issue permits (without any further regulation or power), and that system mirrored those of states like Texas or Utah, as opposed to those of California and New York, would you be interested in having a permit entirely separate of your Texas LTC, but which allowed you to carry in every jurisdiction of the U.S.?
ETA: You would not be affecting any state permits you already have, and you would only be carrying under that permit when in a state that did not respect any state permits you have.
And this would come from the same Federal Legislature that allows carry in the National parks but prohibits it on US Army Corps of Engineers' controlled land? I can have my concealed carry in Yellowstone (yes, I know - not the buildings) and not on the shore of Lake Grapevine.
