This is what we want, right? Each state keeps their own sovereign gun laws, but recognizes other state's permits. And no federalization of permits.
Sort of like a driver's license. Your license is good in other states and their laws apply when you are in that state.

I thought about this the other day. In MN a front license plate is required, in many others states it is not. Can an out of state visitor to MN be ticketed for no front plate?

Never seen it happen. Live with guys from out of state for a couple years in college who didn't have front plates.

When I was on the street with Park, I never wrote for missing front plates if it was an our of state plate, precisely because I didn't know the rules in that state. It wasn't worth what headaches it could have caused.

No. It's their registration scheme so their law controls.
There is a multi-state contract which governs this (not a federal law). All States and Territories are parties to it.
MN requires TWO plates and new ones every SEVEN years so that 3M can sell more Scotchlite. I know because I watched their lobbyists get the seven year law enacted sometime in the 1980's.
