The problem is that several states have changed their laws so that they do not accept non-resident permits from other states, Florida is one. You already have a great combo in Oregon and Utah, however, if you plan on traveling to Florida regularly you may want to get their non-resident. This would also add Kansas to your list. The rest would be individual permits if they offer non-resident permits. Good luck.
The more the merrier. Reciprocity laws are changing day to day, minute to minute AND you may not realize it until you have already entered the state in question, thus if you travel a whole lot consider the investment in permits just that. But still keep up on the reciprocity laws directly from the state web sites (and even THEY are behind much of the time). The suggestion of getting permits from the states you travel through a lot is a good one IF that state issues non resident permits, but keep in mind that not all states do that and in fact, there are only a handful (about a dozen) that you can get with relative ease.
Honestly, this is one of the reasons that I keep hoping for a national reciprocity law, much the same as drivers licenses are recognized anywhere. US Citizen? Got a concealed carry permit with NICS? You are good to go in any state. Done deal.
Amen! Im hoping to be in posession of 4 permits by early next year. My current Oregon permit, Utah, Maine, and N.H. And I too am hoping for national reciprocity a.s.a.p. Ugh. Its way overdue.
I know Texas has alot of states that piggy back off of it
I don't like it; the whole reason there isn't universal reciprocity is because different states have different requirements for the license. Federally-mandated reciprocity would open the door for the federal government to regulate the requirements for CC.
If the fed were to do anything, they should just abolish the requirement for handgun licensing in general as an infringement of the 2nd. :laugh:
Again, keep a close eye on those non resident permit laws and reciprocity in general, friends. They change constantly (take the word of one who travels a whole lot when able).
Getting permits from states you travel in a lot is a good idea. Trying to explain reciprocity at night by the side of the road is not my idea of a good time.
I don't know if this question has been asked before, so bear with me. Has anybody had any experience where they got stopped and presented a carry permit from a state other than the one you were stopped in? Was the reciprocity concept honored, or did you get a hard time, cuffed and stuffed, etc?
An interesting side note. In SC we do not have reciprocity with Georgia, who geographically right next door. The reason is simple, SC doesn't want Georgia CWP holders carrying in our state because the testing standards for obtaining a permit in Georgia are not up to SC standards.
Not saying I agree, its just interesting to note the politics between states which prevent reciprocity.
