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?

QUOTES
TO REMEMBER |
After having thus successively taken each member of the community in its powerful grasp and fashioned him at will, the supreme power then extends its arm over the whole community. It covers the surface of society with a network of small, complicated rules, minute and uniform, through which the most original minds and the most energetic characters cannot penetrate, to rise above the crowd. The will of man is not shattered, but softened, bent, and guided; men seldom forced by it to act, but they are constantly restrained from acting. Such a power does not destroy, but it prevents existence; it does not tyrannize, but it compresses, enervates, extinguishes, and stupefies a people, till each nation is reduced to nothing better than a flock of timid and industrious animals, of which the government is the shepherd. — Alexis de Tocqueville |
