New York's stance banning carrying arms by citizens from other states is in big trouble.

I have mixed feelings on this: 2A vs States' Rights. Read through the complaint last night and believe New York is about to lose.

I don’t have mixed feelings about it whatsoever. If NY state can ignore the Full Faith and Credit clause in regards to gun permits, states can choose to ignore it when it comes to other permits. Either the courts uphold the FF&C clause and force NY to recognize OOS gun permits or they invalidate they invalidate the clause.

You may have misunderstood why I have mixed feelings on it. On the one hand, I believe states have the fundamental right to determine their paths. It is, for example, why I always disagreed with Roe. Regardless of how one feels about abortion, it should not be regulated on a Federal level. Not going to rehash my reasoning; have done so before. You're right, either uphold the FF&C clause or invalidate it. And Roe may not be the best example, because abortion is not an enumerated right in the Constitution while the right to keep and bear arms is.

But ignoring the 2A and the FF&C clause is interfering with the rights of citizens beyond the borders of NY state as is pointed out in the suit. So, if I decide to drive to Maine and pretty much have to drive through NY to do so, I have to disarm myself before leaving Tennessee or stop at the border, do a bunch of storage gymnastics, drive through and undo said gymnastics. I am not even sure I'm allowed to stop to spend the night in NY with a handgun in my vehicle.

The difference with  Roe is that abortion is not a Constitutionally-granted right.

2A only protects citizens from the Federal Govt infringing on your gun rights, it has nothing to do with States. Somewhere along the way, the Bill of Rights was perverted.

The Constitution doesn't grant rights. States granted strictly (or so they thought) enumerated rights to the Federal Govt upon its creation.
This Constitution, and the laws of the United States which shall be made in pursuance thereof; and all treaties made, or which shall be made, under the authority of the United States, shall be the supreme law of the land; and the judges in every state shall be bound thereby, anything in the Constitution or laws of any State to the contrary notwithstanding.

yes it does. states' can't have direct conflicts with the US Constitution. or at least where they do the US Constitution wins out.

Yes, thanks for proving you don't know what you are talking about. The Federal Gov't is basically a HOA. The HOA can't grant you rights.

Go back and read some history. Ratification debates, Madison's Notes on the Constitutional Convention, etc. Not until incorporation, which was the perversion point, did anyone think the Federal Bill of Rights was applied to States...which is why every State has THEIR OWN version of a Bill of Rights in their State Constitutions.

I too fully believe in states having the power/right to chart their own course within the bounds of the constitution. IMO it's akin to the TX border situation, border security and immigration are wholly under the prevue of the federal government so the administration would be well within it's rights to remove any barriers TX put in place and to force the TX NG to stand down. I believe that NY state can regulate it's own permitting process for concealed carry and it's residents have to abide by those laws but NY State cannot (if the FF&C) clause is valid penalize a resident of another state with a valid permit for carrying within NY.

Now for full disclosure, I really would like for the courts to rule that the NY law is in violation of the FF&C clause for reasons outside of carrying a gun. My TN contractors license should be valid within NY or any other state.
