JP> Article IV, Section 1 of the United States Constitution states: 
 
 JP> "Full faith and credit shall be given in each state to the public 
 JP> acts, records, and judicial proceedings of every other State. And the 
 JP> Congress may, by general laws prescribe the manner is which such acts, 
 JP> records, and proceedings shall be proved, AND THE EFFECT THEREOF." 
 
 JP> Looks to me like it would be perfectly Constitutional for Congress to 
 JP> pass such a law. And it wouldn't force Texans to obey some 
 JP> Massachusetts law while in Texas. That's a different case entirely. 
 
   I believe that the 10th ammendment  would also come into play. The 
states rights folks would argue, with much merit, that congress can not 
force Ohio to obey a Texas law which says it is ok for person X to carry a 
firearm. The principle would be Ohio rules Ohio and Texas rules Texas.
