-> would you like Texas required to honor some kooky Massachusetts
-> anti-gun law. It's bad precedent and gun-supporters should not
-> support it.
JP> Article IV, Section 1 of the United States Constitution

JP> "Full faith and credit shall be given in each state to the

DD> You seem to be saying that it would not require a Texan in
DD> Texas to obey a Massachusetts law, but that's exactly what
DD> reciprocity is. For example, if MA passed a law saying that
DD> homosexual
DD> marriages must be honored, then by such a precedent, TX must
DD> honor the marriages of homosexuals who go to Texas. Am I
DD> wrong?
I believe you are.  Example:  The legal marring age is
different in different states.  I believe that some
years ago there was a case where a couple was married
in a state with a minimum female age of 14 and then
moved to a state where the legal age was 18 or so.  I'm
not sure if the marriage license was declared void or
not but I'm fairly sure the guy was convicted of
statutory rape of his wife.  BTW, this was long ago,
mid to late 70's.
                      Remember:  Freedom isn't Free!
