        Gotta agree....if we have to allow concealed weapons then Texas should have to allow marijuana and Alabama 85 MPH speed limits.

        Speed limits and drug use are not constitutionally protected.

        Nope. None of those three are a constitutional right.

        You should be embarrased to print that fact free column. You would be required to obey the rules of the state you visit, just like vehicle drivers.

        pretty stunning precedent they'd be setting. Wasn't washington going to try to STAY OUT of states individual businesses?

        Guns are a right given by the 2nd Amendment. The other items are not protected by the constitution.

        Opinion this. Did you read what you wrote. Sounds kind of stupid how you compare one state laws against another. Using liberal screwups like the drug, education promblem on guns is funny. DNC let education of students go to waste. Wake-up snowflake.🇦🇬🎅☮

        One is, you know, covered by an amendment in the American constitution. The others are not. Wow. Just wow...

        The entire argument for this is because the right to bear arms is federal. It is protected in the constitution. States are not allowed to create laws that infringe on the rights defined in the FEDERAL constitution.

        The difference being that you do not have a constitutional right to buy sex, drugs or drive by a certain age. It would be nice to have some reciprocity in some things. When I was 15 and able to drive in ID it kind of sucked not being able to drive in NE when visiting family.

        Pass a constitutional amendment that recognizes them as rights and you may have an argument
