Sounds fair to me
I concur: If You OK Out-Of-State Gay Marriages, You Need to OK Out-Of-State Gun Permits
And wills, drivers’ licenses, etc.

I’ve been saying this for years. But the fact of the matter is, nobody can force a state to recognize any legal action which is taken by another state. Florida cannot protect me from prosecution if I own and carry a gun in NY in a manner that is perfectly legal and acceptable under FL law. If I enter NY, I am no longer a freeman. I accept that, and will never go to NY, just like I will never go to North Korea. Gay people who get married in Vermont or Massachusetts are NOT MARRIED when the cross certain state lines, and that’s just the way it is. When your blessing comes from the state, that blessing ends at the state line.

Matt: except for that whole “full faith and credit” thing in that one document we call the Constitution. There’s a reason why your driver’s license is accepted in all 50 states, as well as your marriage license (if you happen to be straight, anyway). It’s also the reason why people could elope to Nevada (or get divorced there) back in the 1920s and 30s when Nevada had the most liberal marriage and divorce laws in the country and still have those marriages and divorces legal when they got back to their home states.

As long as the opposite is true, I think many liberals will go for it…where there is out of state recognition for CCW, there should also be out of state recognition for gay marriage.
