If you check the map, your permit should have reciprocity with the following states: Alabama, Alaska, Arizona, Arkansas, Colorado, Florida, Georgia, Idaho, Indiana, Iowa, Kentucky, Louisiana, Michigan, Mississippi, Missouri, Montana, New Hampshire, North Carolina, North Dakota, Oklahoma, Pennsylvania, South Dakota, Tennessee, Texas, Utah, Vermont, Wisconsin, Wyoming

If you are moving to one of those states, you're good to go until until your current permit expires &/or you gain residency and can get a resident permit. If it is another state than those listed, you would have to gain residency and then apply there.

Care to cite a law?

FWIW after reading the concealed carry permit information page that is located right here on this very forum it appears to me that your Indiana resident permit is only good as long as you are wait for it......

reciprocity

You could apply for a Florida non resident and have it in under a month. They have reciprocity with 30ish states. That may carry you till you get licensed in your new state. Where you moving to?

No I can't cite any law. However, I can offer this...

At what point is one no longer a resident of a particular state? The second you drive the U-Haul across state lines? Don't think so...

The gist of my first post is that it usually takes a certain amount of time living in another state to gain residency there. You are not a resident the first day you get there.

Case in point...my youngest son works out in the Gulf of Mexico & lives in Louisiana for about 7-8 months out of the year. He usually comes home in the fall for four months or so. Where is his residency? Hint...It's not Maine according to the IRS even though his mailing address is in Maine.

That is not always true. In some states as soon as you become a resident, all of your out-of-state permits become invalid. Washington is that way.

Then you might want to be a little careful about dispensing internet legal advice. People take that crap ( not to say your post is crap) as Gospel.

WOW, Holy Cow! Are you serious??? I honestly was expecting a response from you, but are you serious??? Didn't know I was dispensing "internet legal advice".

I can see it all now...
<satire>
Um, yes your Honor, there's this guy on the internet nicknamed cordman and he posted a message and said it was OK.

Judge: Well then, the court finds you not guilty! You have absolutely no responsibility in this case whatsoever!
LEOs knock on cordman's door....Put your hands behind back, you're under arrest for dispensing "internet legal advice"!!!</satire>
 
BTW, if you are carrying on an out-of-state license, you violate Federal law if you go within 1000' of the premises of a school unless you unload your gun and put it in a locked container (and a few other exceptions as well).

You do realize that is one defense the former Marine who was carrying a gun in NYC is using, right?

Thanks for the info. Can you cite a law? J/K! I'm not going to accuse you of dispensing the dreaded ILA. I now realize my post was incorrect. I apologize if I mislead anyone.

I can provide Washington's as an example for what people need to look for:

RCW 9.41.073
Concealed pistol license — Reciprocity.

(1)(a) A person licensed to carry a pistol in a state the laws of which recognize and give effect in that state to a concealed pistol license issued under the laws of the state of Washington is authorized to carry a concealed pistol in this state if:

(i) The licensing state does not issue concealed pistol licenses to persons under twenty-one years of age; and

(ii) The licensing state requires mandatory fingerprint-based background checks of criminal and mental health history for all persons who apply for a concealed pistol license.

(b) This section applies to a license holder from another state only while the license holder is not a resident of this state. A license holder from another state must carry the handgun in compliance with the laws of this state.

(2) The attorney general shall periodically publish a list of states the laws of which recognize and give effect in that state to a concealed pistol license issued under the laws of the state of Washington and which meet the requirements of subsection (1)(a)(i) and (ii) of this section.

Really I was J/K! I really don't need it. AFAIK, I am never going to the State of Washington, not driving, flying, by sled dog team or anything else. BUT, if one day I get a wild hair & decide that Washington is the place for me, I will definitely do some research into their laws. I won't be looking for any "internet legal advice" or defense of such, but that's just me.
 
Ok maybe I could have said it better (Certainly I could have said it better) but what I'm trying to communicate is we need to be careful about what we say here because there really are idiots out there who will take it and run with it and really will end up in front of a judge because of it.

That's all I'm trying to say

OK, Thanks... Point taken.
 
stay away from NY

Try moving to Nassau county NY... You must know 4 references for at least a year before applying then the wait is almost 2 years. 3 years till you can posses your pistols. Nice right?
