In reply to the discussion: Gun owners losing 'Fla. loophole' can't conceal anger [View all]whopis01
(3,511 posts)33. I think the always reasonable argument is valid
because you are talking about one state providing a means of circumventing rules established in another state.
If, according the rules in Philadelphia, I am not allowed to get a permit then it is not reasonable for another state to issue me a permit to carry a weapon in Philadelphia.
If the rules in Philadelphia are unreasonable, as you suggested, then those rules should be examined and reworked. But allowing another state to override them just doesn't make sense.
