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.

I've had carry licenses in some of those states and they are real pain in the ass. Guilty until innocent environment...two or three taps? We'll have to look at this extra hard, why didn't you shot them in the leg, your scores show you can?
Think lack of understanding, personal limitations and fears, and the desire to control everything (an impossible goal) will make a National CCW unlikely. Doesn't mean it ain't worth trying for though.
