Open carry ccw
- Thread starter Samson
- Start date
There is no state that allows open carry ONLY for state residents. Any state that allows open carry, allows it for state residents and out of staters.
Dosesn't "CCW" stand for "Concealed Carry Weapon"? :wink: Not sure of all of the states, you may want to check the "Resources" section of this site and check out the states you're heading to. It might be a good idea to contact the authority that issues the CC permits in the states in question since laws often change frequently.
From what I understand, you don't need a permit in the state of VT and AK. The state of IN allows you to carry in accordance with your permit. If your permit has the word "Concealed", for example the FL "Concealed Weapons Permit", then your firearm must be carried "concealed". OTOH, if your permit simply states "Firearms Permit" like the state of GA, then you're allowed to carry "open" or "concealed".
A quick check on OCDO lists the following states that allow OC with a permit: UT, ND, MN, IA, IN, TN, MS, GA, MA, CT, RI, NJ, MD and HI. I highly doubt that you would be able to get a permit in MA, NJ, MD and HI.
According to OCDO, the following states have excellent OC laws: MT, ID, NV, WY, AZ, NM, SD, KY, VA, VT & AK.
Hope this answers your question.

Michigan is an open carry state. Residents do not require a permit to open carry. Out of state resident do but that is do to being able to bring the gun into the state. Michigan recognizes all resident permits. It does not recognize not resident permits.

2. Can a resident of another state legally possess a pistol in Michigan?
If you are a non-resident of Michigan with a valid concealed pistol permit from your home state, Michigan will recognize your permit (MCL 28.432 & MCL 28.432a). However, you must carry in conformance with any and all restrictions appearing on the permit. You are subject to Michigan's concealed pistol law including but not limited to restrictions on where a concealed pistol may be carried. Without a CPL, a non-resident may not have a pistol in Michigan.

I'm sure WVCDL would like to know about it and get it fixed.
Unless you can point out something specifically in the WV Code which states that open carry applies to only residents only then it does not. I couldn't find anything in the book with a specific State code that outlaws it for non-residents.
It's the "or not" part that really bugs me. The laws have become more and more ridiculous, and the cops are far more likely to simply arrest people and let the courts sort it out these days.
