We are still trying to get a National Carry law, along the lines as your drivers license, if a state has you one, yours is good in their state. Our problem is the seven states that have the most gun restrictions, which just happen to be the ones with the highest crime rates keep messing it up. Last try we were 4 votes short in the Senate.
If more people would read the Federalist Papers, they would know why the amendments were added to the Constitution. Most people would be surprised to know that your rights to own firearms is you only civil right not automatically restored if you have been convicted of a felony then given a pardon. It must state in your pardon that your right to own firearms have been reinstated.
