The states don't have any business restricting *any* rights enumerated in the Constitution.
I refuse to obtain a state's "license" to carry, because it implies the right to carry is a privilege GRANTED by the state. Further, charging a fee or tax for the license reinforces the concept that it is a privilege. If I can legally possess a firearm, I should be able to carry said firearm, and without any interference or undue attention from the state and its appointed agents.

Rationalized nonsense.
The States and Federal government does in fact have the right to set limits on all the rights.
They do and that has been upheld by the Supreme Court numerous times.
For example there are all sorts of restrictions on free speech.
