@thackney All 50 states accept my drivers license, marriage, recognize the hunter training I had in NYS to grant me a license in any of them. Why should this be any different?
I was thinking of that the other day.
I moved from VA to FL many years ago. One day I transferred my license and insurance.
13 years later I go to renew my FL license and am told that I cannot, as VA has suspended it. Seems when they heard I cancelled (replaced) my VA insurance they mistakenly ASSUMED I was driving without insurance, charged me and fined me. None of which I ever heard of until I went to renew my FL license.
So, if CCW reciprocity is not different, under what circumstances would VA be able to deny my right to carry in FL like they did with my DL? Would I have to have had a VA CCW first? What I if was in VA, say yesterday (I was), in possession of a handgun (I was, but it was lost on the way home), and they didn't like the color of the case or some other stupid technicality?
CCW should NOT be the same as DL. DL is broken. VA should be able to suspend my VA DL (which I don't have), and not honor (after due process) my FL DL in VA. But they should have no right to say I can't drive in FL on a FL DL because VA made a mistake (or any reason I can think of). [They should also not be allowed to extort an "admin fee" to clear their mistake from my record after I proved that I had continuous coverage].
