U.S. moves one step closer to Civil War ? SCOTUS strikes down DOMA
Freedom Outpost ^ | June 26, 2013 | Shea Bernard

The DOMA decision is not the one that will start the civil war. SCOTUS
punting on Perry threw the question of state marriage laws back to the
states.
You can still have a couple married in California, considered
unmarried across the line in Arizona, Nevada and Oregon.

Yes, but their rights follow them.

Well, the jury is out on that one, but it appears that if a gay couple
from California moves to Backwardsville, Texas (that would be the entire
state), the state of Texas does not have to recognize that marriage.
What is going to happen is that there will be many lawsuits filed in the
states that don't recognize gay marriage, and eventually those barriers
will come down.

That may be true in the 9th circuit but it may not go the same way in
the 11th and the court did not give them any specific guidance.

Why wouldn't my Texas issued CCW permit be honored in California?

I dunno. The same reason it is not honored in:

Connecticut, District of Columbia, Guam, Hawaii, Maine, Maryland,
Massachusetts, Nevada, New Hampshire, New Jersey, New York, New York
City, Ohio, Oregon, Puerto Rico, Rhode Island, Virgin Islands,
Washington, American Samoa, Illinois, N. Mariana Islands?

If a marriage "can" be force to be recognized by other states then surely a CCW permit is
just the same.
