Handgun Permit Carry in Reciprocal States- Better Safe Than Sorry

Vast numbers of people have become concealed handgun permit holders since the election of Barack Obama. Many did because of personal safety reasons. Some did out of fear that Obama will curtail gun rights. Others did for the best reason...just because they can. No matter what the reason, care must be taken when traveling out of state with your handgun and permit to stay legal in the state traveled to.

Most states have permit reciprocity with other states, but not with all the other states. This is where a potential trap lies for the unwary new permit holders and the rest of us too. As extreme examples, New York and Illinois have no reciprocity with anyone. Illinois has no resident permits, and New York's laws are highly restrictive.

A permit holder must verify that the state traveled to will honor your own concealed permit.

Web sites that list permit reciprocity are a good place to start. Here are some sites to try first.

But...They can't guarantee to have the most current information. You are responsible for validating your own information as to the carry laws in a non-resident state you go to. If you don't, you may pay the price.

For example, sites show Wyoming having reciprocity...

The other 48 must deny reciprocity to Illinois and NY driver’s licenses.

My Wife finally talked me into "getting right with the Law". This, despite my strongly held belief that the 2A applies to ALL governments operating in the United States via Art 6 Para 2.

We just don't have the cash on hand to fight the Court case.

I signed my paperwork; sub protestum

Latin for "in protest". If I need to prove I'm not a criminal and register myself as if I am one, I was going to make damn sure it was "under protest".

Very true, that's why everyone needs to get active in their States and aggressively fight to get your rights back, Citizens and Gun Rights Groups in our State have been doing some good work over the past few years by reforming and clarifying vague laws, the success is mainly due to citizens that are stepping up and getting involved.
