Hello USA Carry Forum Members

[USACChinook]

Greetings from East Texas. I just found this site and this is my first venture here. It looks great!

I have a Texas CHL and often visit Washington State. TX does recognize WA but not vice versa. I hope to find out whether WA will issue me a non-resident license even though they don't recognize Texas. I suppose so; I'll just have to start from scratch...

Stay safe!

Let us know how it goes with the permits..

Apply and let us know how it goes. Even if it goes poorly, open carry is allowed in Washington state so far as I know.

Welcome!
WA will issue a non resident, but it must be done in person. Can take up to 60 days I think for non resident.

G50AE raises an excellent point. Being licensed at the two end points of a journey is only adequate if you fly between them (and then other BIG issues arise). The best of all worlds is to be licensed (or have a license with reciprocity) in all the states being travelled in.

As Trophyhunter suggests, a Florida license might be a good solution. Not easy for me, though, if you have to apply in person; I almost never go to Florida.

Good thing this site makes it easy to cross-reference reciprocities... leasantry:

OK, I just checked. WA adds nothing to what TX gives me except itself. Too bad WA and OR don't reciprocate. I usually drive for just a few miles into Oregon (from Idaho) before crossing into WA.

On that thought, what's wrong with Washington and Oregon? They don't reciprocate with any states either to their north or their south (OK, just south for WA). Sounds downright unfriendly... I can see why CA might be a problem but WA and OR ought to be on the same page.
