SUBJECT: Please veto SB 34; Unconstititional violation of privileges & immunities clause
TO: Governor.ritter@state.co.us
Dear Gov. Ritter:
Please veto SB 34. CO cannot constitutionally decide to accept a state's gun carry permit, but discriminate against holders of this permit based upon state of residency.
The bill is an unconstitutional violation of the privileges and immunities clause because it arbitrarily discriminates against citizens of the US based upon their state of residency.
See Supreme Court of New Hampshire v. Piper, 470 U.S. 274, 274 (1985) (New Hampshire’s ban on nonresident admission to state bar “violates the Privileges and Immunities Clause of Art. IV, § 2”).See also Lee v. Minner, 458 F.3d 194 (3d. Cir. 2006)(affirming trial court's holding that “'citizens only' provision of Delaware's FOIA is unconstitutional under the Privileges and Immunities Clause of Article IV, Section 2 of the United States Constitution”).
Sincerely,
YOUR NAME
