ML>-> Oddly enough, when I was in law school, we had that very thing
ML>-> happen.  The object was to impress upon the students that
ML>Cloyce, I presume you're an attorney.  Let me ask you (and any
ML>other attorneys or legal scholars) this.  Right now, there is a fierce
ML>debate regarding whether the other 49 states will have to recognize
ML>homosexual (same-sex) marriages should Hawaii's Supreme Court rule that
ML>way (most court observers believe it will happen).
ML>Article IV of the US Constitution is often cited.  It is as follows:
ML>"Section 1.  Full Faith and Credit shall be given in each State to the
ML>public Acts, Records, and judicial Proceedings of every other State.
ML>And the Congress may by general Laws prescribe the Manner in which such
ML>Acts, Records, and Proceedings shall be proved, and the Effect thereof."
ML>Here is the question.  If other states will have to recognize same-sex
ML>marriages from one state because of the Full Faith and Credit clause,
ML>then why don't other states have to recognize concealed carry licenses
ML>and permits from any one state?
VERRRY good question, Mark.  VERRRY good question.  I suspect we could
win this one, if the Hawaii case is accepted by the Supreme Court.
Of course, this would apply to residents of OTHER states carrying in
non-carry states.  It wouldn't force non-carry states to liberalize
THEIR laws.
