JEFF JACOBY: Gun rights should cross state lines.

Down the street or across the country, a valid driver’s license is all you need to lawfully get behind the wheel of a car. If you’ve met your state’s conditions to be issued a license — passed the test, submitted your fingerprints, paid the fee — there’s not a state in the country that won’t honor it.

A valid license to carry a firearm should be treated the same way.

Make it part & parcel of the driver's license. Just as there are restrictions (corrective lenses required), there should be permissions (concealed carry permitted).
