This unfortunate piece of legislation set back federally-mandated interstate permit reciprocity untold amounts of time.

Why is it that drivers licenses, marriage licenses (both licenses to exercise privileges) covered under the full faith and credit clause, but CCW permits are not?

You can't kill people with a marriage license. Driving, although very dangerous, serves a purpose other than killing people. Although I'm not sure I agree with interstate reciprocity for driving licenses-- a Texan or southern California driver plopped onto a North Dakota road in the middle of winter sounds more dangerous to the public than him having a concealed gun.
Not sure where the "killing people" exemption is in the full-faith and credit clause. Must've missed that one.
