New Mexico should be able to keep its citizens safe — and that means making sure people who want to carry concealed weapons follow our laws, not weaker laws passed elsewhere.
The ability to enforce laws that suit New Mexicans could be threatened by a national push to approve legislation that would allow people to carry concealed weapons across state lines. Called “reciprocity,” the legislation would require states to recognize all licenses issued in other states. Right now, New Mexico acknowledges only concealed handgun licenses or permits from other states with similar requirements. That shouldn’t change. |

What utter stupidity!
States are required to recognize other states' actions, such as marriages, divorces, and driver licenses. None of these are rights specifically guaranteed by the Constitution.
Why then, does my right to carry a firearm, which is specifically guaranteed by the Constitution, not extend to all states?

TO REMEMBER |
| Besides the advantage of being armed, which the Americans possess over the people of almost every other nation, the existence of subordinate governments, to which the people are attached, and by which the militia officers are appointed, forms a barrier against the enterprises of ambition, more insurmountable than any which a simple government of any form can admit of. Notwithstanding the military establishments in the several kingdoms of Europe, which are carried as far as the public resources will bear, the governments are afraid to trust the people with arms. — James Madison, The Federalist Papers, No. 46 |
