Questioning what things stand for?

Post by Dexdahex »

If you are a; Doctor or Lawyer, Goverment offical, member of the House or Senate... Here's the question when you enter a different area ie State, District etc... does you status level change or come into question ie is a Doctor not a Doctor here, etc...assuming the training took place here in the USA.

This is the 1st part of this topic and will set the foundation.

Who are you to say if I buy it legally by the rules, if any I can't have it in your area.

Now be careful here

Is a Law here not a Law there (I'm talking from the point Nationally in the USA) Which is above State to State

I am not sure what you are driving at ... but what you "are" [job status/title] in one state is different than what you legally "do" in another state. You may "be" a doctor in one state, but can't legally "do" what a doctor can do in another state. Licensing rules for doctors vary by state and one state does not have to recognize the license from another state. This also applies to foreign education. A doctor educated and licensed in India may not be able to practice in the U.S., but that doesn't mean he isn't still a physician. :???:

Not sure what you are driving at either. But as a lawyer and subject to some exceptions, I am only allowed to practice law in jurisdictions that have licensed me to practice law. So since I am not licensed in OK, I can't just go north and practice law in OK.

I'm talking from a national level in general

I understand rules will change a little, but what I'm referring to is a Doctor not a Doctor if you enter into a new state

I understand that, What I was asking are you not a Lawyer if you move to another state.

IANAL but I think you have to be admitted to the bar in a state to practice law in that state.

A CPA or PE licensed in one state can't practice in other states unless they get licensed there.

A legislator from Tennessee can't show up in Austin and vote for/against a bill in the Texas legislature.

These are some of the many reasons LEOSA should be repealed unless it's fixed to give equal protection to ALL AMERICANS.

If a Texas State Senator visits Tennessee, he is still a Senator, even though he can't vote in the Tennessee Congress.

Just because you have a plastic card that says Texas CHL doesn't mean that your carry privileges transfer to another state.

What I mean is CPA not a CPA, I understand there a rules

I'm not asking if the Legislator can vote, I'm simple asking if he is still a Legislator

The US Constitution clearly says yes. Just like you can have a bible or koran.

That doesn't mean some regimes won't try to violate those basic human rights.

That is true, however is he not a Doctor...It is a basic point I'm asking I am not asking if he can practice there, just is he a Doctor

If Elizabeth II visits the United States on holiday, she's still the Queen of England (and other Commonwealth realms.)

A physician from Ghana who visits the United States is still a physician, although it probably has no legal meaning here.

Can I buy a gun here and go there, I'm not talking about carring it there, just can I have one there.
