This is a good analogy but the difference is that other states do not place onerous restrictions on your ability to drive in their state. Some states gun laws are the equivalent of restricting vehicles to a fuel tank of less than 1 gallon capacity, with a max speed of 10 miles per hour.

You make a very good point. CA has very restrictive vehicle emission standards, but I can visit CA in my non-CA made "pollution spewing" car (a little hyperbole here).

Don't know about CA, but I travel to IL often and read their forums, and their CC restrictions are not that onerous, if you can actually get a license. IL does have more restrictions on public property, but otherwise is similar to TX in many regards.

Unlike the precedents for reciprocity, the federal establishment of licensing requirements did not happen with drivers licenses reciprocity. So there is no precedent for the feds to establish those requirements in this case since the states already do that.
