It has come to my attention that there is pending in Congress another national concealed carry bill but, this time, it is designed to protect non-law enforcement citizens by causing the several states to recognize their CCWs/CHLs in much the same manner as driver's licenses are recognized.  Besides generically asking y'all if you know about this, I have another interesting question on the subject:

Clearly, this is not intended as a Federal license (which would be a hoot in light of the patent unconstitutionality of such a law [someone please let me know if I am right about that]) but a Federal mandate to the states that mimics driver's license recognition.  The real interesting issue is how it will work in very restrictive states.  In other words, will the states all be mandated to recognize the licenses, like for drivers, or will only states who happen to have similar CCW/CHL laws have to recognize the others?

It will play havoc in the restrictive jurisdictions if the former comes to pass. Ya gotta love that.... 

So, perhaps this is a tad speculative and, if so, Prof. V will duly chastise me.  But if it is fair game here, does anyone have any real knowledge about this?
