How about driver's licenses? As I understand it, when DLs first came about there was a problem where some states wouldn't recognize some other state's license. The federal government came in and required all states to recognize any other state's DL, under "full faith and credit".

What would be wrong with doing the same thing with carry licenses?
I doubt the Federal government "came in." It would have required a huge new bureaucracy, headquarted in "Sheets" Byrd's favorite state, with an enormous budget, research, studies to be performed by Congressmen's favored contractors, legions of administrators who by now would have concluded that individual states issuing their D/Ls was a hideously ineffective hodgepodge, and that federal oversight and issuance was essential to a completely effective hodgepodge.

I'd like to see the real story. Maybe the state administrators got together and agreed it would solve their problems to mutually cooperate. This was probably decades ago before socialism became the rage and a bureaucrat's dream come true.
I wish I knew how to find it. It's just what I have been told.

Yes, "came in" was just a manner of speaking... my manner of speaking. :lol:
