Article IV, Section 1:
"Full faith and credit shall be given in each state to the public acts, records, and judicial proceedings of every other state. And the Congress may by general laws prescribe the manner in which such acts, records, and proceedings shall be proved, and the effect thereof."
So, as understand it, this clause of the Constitution provides the backdrop for why things like Marriage licenses and Drivers licenses are recognized by all states... but why does this not apply to handgun permits and licenses and the like?
Just a thought that popped into my head when reading about the push for Constitutional Carry in various states, I am not well versed on the ins and outs surrounding this clause. Anyone more lawyerly than I care to explain why this clause does or doesn't pertain to CHP/CWL and similar weapons license/permits?
