i can't rember who posted this(all active duty military who want to oughht to be able to anywhere in the country on there military i.d. cards)Hello all, just joined the forum a few minutes ago. Poked around for just a minute but didn't find anything in regards to active duty guys getting a permit--if I missed it please let me know.
I'm a Texas resident with a Minnesota drivers license stationed in Kansas. I just moved here from New York where I had a New York permit to carry, but as you know NY doesn't really have reciprocity with anyone. I'm now looking at getting a permit to carry in Kansas, but wonder if I'm better off getting the permit in Minnesota (family lives there so it's a more convenient trip than Texas) instead? It also looks like an additional permit in Utah is worth the effort.
The more I search on the net, the more confused I get on which permits are valid in which states, let alone trying to figure out which state I'm a resident of...
Any help is appreciated. Thanks--
Bruce
Let me tell ya the answer ain't easy, I'm active duty and have been on and off over 30 years (broken Service) residency ain't as easy as where your drivers license is, that's for sure. If you have a NY CCW you have to be a NY resident changing your residency makes that permit invalid. Now if you’re never going back to NY that's no big deal but if you are, getting a NY permit is one of the most difficult I have encountered so it is worth maintaining. Like I said residency for active duty is like no-one else because you can have legal residency in at least 2 states possibly 3 depending on your situation and location, but the day you are no longer active duty that all stops so, you must pick 1 so again depending on your situation this is huge in the decision process. Take my case for example I was born in NY moved to PA got my first CCW there at 18, joined the Military, and I have kept my Pa permit current as a resident, had other permits in states where I was stationed, but upon leaving those states the permits where invalid. About 7 years ago I bought what I plan to be retirement home in NY established residency there, and earlier this year applied for my CCW which I HOPE I get. I still have my PA resident permit, although it now carries my NY address. I have been stationed in NC for about 18 months and am due to transfer to FL very soon I seriously considered getting my CCW here, I took the class etc. but knew I was only going to be here 18-24months, the whole process takes about 8 months and the permit will be invalid once I leave, my PA permit has reciprocity here, so I opted not too. I will however get a FL permit because I can change it to a NON-Resident upon my departure, and when I depart I plan on returning to NY, unless I don't get my CCW, in which case I will sell my property and move elsewhere, or sell my handgun collection and give up my 2nd amendment rights, yeah figure the odds!
I hope this helps a little, sorry it was so long but the Active Military situation is very unique and the above only scratches the surface.
Furthermore,Hangunlaw.us- NY makes this claim:Can you give a cite for this?
A NY state license is issued for life...if you move out of state it is not revoked, just supply the issuing authority your change of address. I've read where they "suggest" you turn it in if you move out of state as its "not valid anywhere but NY"...but that's simply not true...as there are several states that recognize it.
Until last night, I had never thought that a NR could possibly get a NY permit. I'll admit I haven't read the entire NY code to find the language that allows this.New York will issue to non-Residents but you must have a very good reason. Most say you must have business concerns in the county etc etc.

The only flaw is in the state count. Keep in mind that FL, CO, and NH only honor resident permits from the states with which they have reciprocity. In other words, even though those 3 states recognize the UT permit, your UT permit is not valid in those 3 states because you are not a UT resident. MN doesn't have reciprocity with those 3 states at all. So, your count would be 32 states. Still not too shabby.I'll be good in 35 states. So, this is my logic. Anybody see any flaws in it?
