Driving a car is a privilege and carrying a gun is a right. So why is it, Drivers license (privilege) is recognized in all 50 state but my concealed carry (right) is only recognized by a few. We should establish a standard to be able to carry in all 50 states!
All 50 States + the District of Columbia. I travel all over the country for work and my work takes me into some not so safe areas. Having to worry about if I can carry to this state or that one, or worry about getting rerouted midweek to a state that would persecute me for even having a fire arm in my luggage is a worry we should not have in the US with the 2nd amendment.

Absolutely, if in one state you are recognized with CC you should be recognized in all fifty states.

National Reciprocity is the way to go here as opposed to a nationwide Constitutional Carry. States require a mandatory class (SC) or proof of training (VA) which guarantees that the CCP holder has had training in basic operation and safety procedures, as well as the Self Defense laws for their State.

Why do Citizens accept restrictions to Their Second Amendment Right? We don’t have to apply for or carry a special card or License to use Our 1st Amendment Right or any other Right for that matter. A Citizen should be allowed to carry firearms anywhere for self defense. A firearm is a tool and should be treated as such.

While there is no lawful or constitutional reason a permit for a right is needful, this is a good first step. We have lost our rights to a breaking point and unfortunate must make our way back one step at a time. We as a people have elected control of all 3 branches of the gov’t to one party and now it their time to get to work. Reciprocity shows our more liberal neighbors that we mean business, we have rights that will be respected. We must enjoy full use of all of our rights anywhere we may be on America’s shores

I believe that the plain text of the constitution clearly states we have the right to carry. While I don’t believe that a licensing scheme is legal, it is what we have. That should be recognized nationwide.
Better yet, national Constitutional Carry.
Not all states require training, only a background check, that is why some states do not recognize other states carry permits. Several states are Constitutional carry, no permit required.
Instead of CC reciprocity, we need the Supreme Court to say that CCLs are UNCONSTITUTIONAL! If you have to pay to use a right, it’s NOT a right
