... "'The current patchwork of state and local laws is confusing for even the most conscientious and well-informed concealed carry permit holders,' explained [NRA-ILA's] Chris Cox ... 'This confusion often leads to law-abiding gun owners running afoul of the law when they exercise their right to self-protection while traveling or temporarily living away from home.'"
"The most prominent recent example of this is the case of Shaneen Allen, a single mother from Pennsylvania threatened with 10 years in jail for inadvertently bringing a concealed gun into New Jersey. ..."

Except, they have a MAJOR problem: The 2A has now officially been incorporated to bind the states under the 14th Amendment.
The faux "states' rights" argument is out the window.

TO REMEMBER |
| To trust arms in the hands of the people at large has, in Europe, been believed...to be an experiment fraught only with danger. Here by a long trial it has been proved to be perfectly harmless...If the government be equitable; if it be reasonable in its exactions; if proper attention be paid to the education of children in knowledge and religion, few men will be disposed to use arms, unless for their amusement, and for the defence of themselves and their country. � Timothy Dwight, Travels in New England and New York [London 1823] |
