Reciprocity, the mutual exchange of privilege between states and nations, is being denied Virginian citizens, as well as the citizens of 25 other states because the Attorney General Mark R. Herring is imposing his political will on conceal and carry holders.
According to The Washington Post, Herring said of out-of-state concealed permit holders, “While you are here, you are subject to the commonwealth’s gun laws.” In light of this, the states being cut by Herring are those which have not attached as many conditions and prohibition to their concealed carry permits. Herring contends that concealed carry “should be extended only to those who have gone through a process to prove a level of competency and responsibility.”
Ending reciprocity with 25 states does limit the exercise of Virginian’s liberty because numerous states have rules that prevent them from recognizing the concealed carry permits of states that refuse to recognize theirs in return. Because of this, once Herring ends reciprocity with Florida, Louisiana, North Dakota, Pennsylvania, South Carolina, and Wyoming, the concealed carry licenses of Virginians will no longer be honored in those states.
One man cannot exercise sovereign control over a Constitutionally held right and carry it into other states without it being challenged. Hopefully the 25 states will file suit on behalf of their citizens for the infringement that Herring has instituted upon those outside his jurisdiction and purview.
