Get a CCW for another state?
My club has been offering to help with getting a non-resident CCW for Florida and Utah. I understand that this could be of use if we ever get 50 state recognition but that's not likely. In the case of some states recognizing the CCW wouldn't I be in violation of transport laws if I Carry from a state that didn't issue it?

You need to map it out state by state.
|
There is an app: Legal Heat. Does a great job of updating the laws of all the states and which state reciprocate.
|
A good app......
As to 50 state reciprocity? when pigs fly.... |
IIRC Virginia has the highest reciprocity and a non resident CCW is a pretty easy get.
It won't get you Florida but will get you Utah. |
At one time I had non rez ccws from, AZ, OR AND WA. 43 states as I recall. I "had" one in CA but the NRA backed Sherriff cancelled all but former LEOs judges and his cronies when beat the incumbent.

FOPA generally covers you on transport as long as you make sure to know accessibility rules in places you may be passing through. So he could for example carry in Indiana then transport through Illinois and carry again in Montana. |

What is interesting is that Florida doesn't have a different CCW for resident or not - your state issued ID (drivers license, etc) makes that determination. |
There aren't many times where I'll say the federal government needs to step in, but this is one of those times. A concealed carry permit should be good regardless what state you live in.
|
Things change too often and a lot of states that recognize other states' CCWs only do so for residents of those states, not non-resident folks far away. I got my UT permit when NV stopped taking AZ permits because NV took UT permits, and I traveled to NV regularly. But then they stopped taking non-resident UT permits. You don't have to worry in Constitutional-carry states. But I wouldn't bother with a FL permit unless you regularly travel there or to states who take FL non-resident permits.
|
So I am in TN. I can get a non-resident permit in FL? How is that possible?
|
WRT transport v carry. I was referring to being able to do both, but as noted I'd be crossing a border illegally. I have frequently transported a long gun across the NJ/PA border for NRA functions but never a hand gun. So, the limits of reciprocity and where I live would seem to make getting Fla and Utah permits wasted effort.

FOPA covers transport. They are two different things with different rules. |

Time for a stupid question 😋. Governor Kemp here in Georgia announced last week he is going to introduce legislation to allow Georgia residents to open carry without a CCW . If that legislation gets passed does that have any affect on reciprocal states ?
Asked another way if I am pulled over by a police officer in a reciprocal state and asked if I have a firearm and answer yes . Then I am asked do I have a CCW and answer no . But I then say Georgia no longer requires a CCW . Then what happens ? I assume that the non CCW requirement is just good in Georgia in this example but I don't know that for sure . Thoughts ? |

Err on the side of caution. When in doubt lock em up. |
Before a bunch of other states got Const. carry, only VT and AK allowed CCW with no permit. So the states that accepted any other state's CCWs would accept a mere DL from AK and VT residents. AZ now has Const. carry, but out DLs don't suffice anywhere outside of AZ for CCW. You have to get a permit if you want reciprocity. I have an AZ CCW for that reason. The only benefit for me in AZ is that it also exempts me from NICS checks when buying from an FFL.
