4. Such a proposal isn't too out of land with, IMO, a proper view of the Second Amendment...

The Second recognizes a right to keep and bear arms that no state shall deny as protected by the Fourteenth. Reciprocity would thereby follow. The question is the method of carry: Concealed or Open. Of course, no state can constitutionally deny both, and any state can recognize both methods of carry. But the states can recognize one method while denying the other as the Second does not speak to the methodology. It would appear, however, that any proposed legislation is limited to concealed-carry. There may be a question as to training/certification in the various states and how reciprocity would deal with this.
