Everyone has their own opinion and here's mine, want it or not. I believe Gun permits should be monitored and a full back ground run on the person trying to acquire one. Even if this extends the waiting period a reasonable amount. That said and done, the License should be just like a drivers license, once a person has had the training and background checks the permit should be able to be used in all states. Or since perhaps not everyone would want one make it available for upgrade (at a reasonable price) for interstate, all state carry).
Now let's here a rebuttal:
(ASSOCIATED PRESS)
Attorneys general in New York and nine other states are asking U.S. Senate leaders to stop legislation that would let licensed gun owners carry concealed firearms across state lines.
Letters sent to Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid, D-Nev., and Minority Leader Mitch McConnell, R-Ky., say it would restrict states' ability to control gun permits inside their borders, forcing them to recognize permits from states with weak oversight.
New York Attorney General Eric Schneiderman says 68 percent of the guns used in New York crimes last year were traced to other states.
The other attorneys general are from California, Connecticut, Hawaii, Illinois, Maryland, Massachusetts, Nevada and Oregon, along with Pennsylvania's attorney general-elect.
The bill is supported by the National Rifle Association, which says it lets owners protect themselves in other states.
