Intro and different question

[Rick Osgood]

Hello,

My wife and I travel full time in our RV and have set up official residency in South Dakota. We will not really spend any time there so here is my dilemma....

I want to get a CCW and am looking at non-resident requirements. In all states I have checked so far, you can only get a non-resident permit if you have a resident permit from your home state. It would be really expensive to drive our RV to Texas and spend the 30 days in state to qualify for the resident permit. Do any states issue a non-resident permit without the resident permit?

Thanks!!

that's not true, I believe that fla will issue a license regardless of your having a home state permit

What they said above.

With that, next time you're in SD, you should get the SD permit. It's only $10, no prints, no photo, no training, short form. That will then clear the way for any that require home permit (UT, for example). Also pay attention to the fact that a few states do not recognize non-resident permits from states they otherwise recognize.

Virginia non-resident permits do not require that you have a permit from your home state.

UT requires a home state permit? I got my Utah permit before my CA.

 

[Bluestar99]

Yea, I have a UT permit and my home state of Illinois didn't even offer a permit at the time.

Hmm, maybe it depends on when you applied for Utah? They required my resident permit.
