The Gun-Law Loophole That Entices Tycoons and Criminals to Play Cop

There is no 50 state concealed carry license. In many states, applicants for licenses must be residents of that state. This makes armed security that can follow protectees across any state border impossible without such legal hacks.

So? States should be free to decide the terms of concealed gun carriers in their states.

If you're rich enough to travel with people with hidden guns, you can get them licensed in the states you plan to visit.

You should reread the OP, many states do not allow non-residents to get permits. So someone who needed body guards would need a different set of body guards for every state they visit that doesn't honor their permit.

They could solve that problem by getting that state to honor the permits from the state issuing the permits to their bodyguards.

There's lots of different ways to solve the issue, but the point is they haven't, and show no signs of changing it in the future.

That would require legislation. As it stands, it is still impossible for bodyguards to have 50 state CCW without legal hacks like this one.

Then they should not carry guns where they do not have a valid permit.

Many states recognize CCW licenses from other states.
