should be fine (IMO) to share what the
facts are in any given state. It turns political when state laws are compared in good/better/worst manner, the ethics/morality of them, goodness/badness and among other poor behavior using inflammatory statements that turn the topic controversial. Thank you all for keeping it neutral and factual.

You're welcome. But I'm reluctant to continue this particular topic due to the forum rules about politics.
I share your opinion, but in my experience it's nearly impossible to avoid crossing the line due to the very nature of the subject.
That said, disparities between States concerning firearms are often due to reciprocity agreements that have been in place for many years, are commonly handled by the State AG office, and rarely updated to reflect current State laws. In addition, these agreements can be extremely difficult to obtain for the avg. person. They aren't secret, but are not always available via the internet.
For example, MS & AL have been operating on the same reciprocity agreement for decades, yet I would not be permitted to carry concealed in AL without a valid MS permit, since that agreement has not been updated to reflect current MS law that became effective in 2016. Conversely,
MS does not require a AL resident (or any other State resident for that matter) to have permit. It's just not a high priority for the AG office of either State.
