How many concealed carry permits do you have?

I just got my concealed carry permit for the state of Washington. Already licensed in Oregon. Just out of curiosity how many states are you CCW'd for? Good shooting;)

I have a License to Carry Firearms (which is technically NOT a CCW license unless properly annotated) for "All Lawful Purposes" which allows me to carry concealed in the People's Commonwealth. I also have a New Hampshire Non-Resident CCW License.

Just coincidentally my first CCW license was in Washington State when I lived there. Still have it hanging around somewhere although it's ten years or so out of date.

I have a Ga. Firearms license. It's the only one I have. Ga. has reciprocity with, or its license is recognized by 19 other states. That's good enough for me.

..Joe

TX, FL and WA. Wish I could get one for OR, but as I live in TX, there's no way for me to get one.

Alabama and Florida so I'm good in 27 states. The Florida permit pays the freight.

:D

six CHLs...

Three CHL Instructor Licenses

2: FL & PA

2: AR , FL

I have a Maine CCP, and a non-res CCP for New Hampshire. No permit required in Vermont, so I can carry in any of the three northern New England states.
With reciprocity I can legally carry in 18 states, but I've never set foot in 15 of those.
I have to travel to Rhode Island on business occasionally, and I can't get a R.I. permit, so I can't carry there.:mad:

Only my state one right now . which does IIRC give me cover for KY and IN. I am doing a NRA Instructors course in a month and should be able after that to get my FL non-res as well ... that would help a lot.

Only one. Texas. But eighteen, for all practical purposes.

Have reciprocity with Oklahoma, Arizona, Kentucky, Florida, Louisiana, Arkansas, Tennessee and Wyoming. Honored by Montana, Idaho, Utah, Missouri, Indiana, Michigan, Virginia, Vermont and Alaska.

Arizona and Florida.

Gonna add Ohio when I go to visit my brother. Even if they have Reciprocity (yea right) in the near future.

I have a dumb question. How do you go about getting a carry permit in a state in which you're not a resident?

Thanks,
Steve

SteveW13, check here.

That should give you all the info you need.

Hungary
You don't have such:-))

2. ME and NH...Since I left WA I'm sure that one is invalid now, but it's not expired.

- Gabe

I've got 5:
Tennessee
New Hampshire
Maine
Florida
Pennsylvania

According to info on www.packing.org, I'm good to carry in 30 states altogether.

VA and FL

1 - TX

I don't get out much :neener:

Smoke

Well let's see:

New York

New Hampshire

Pennsylvania

I will be applying to Florida next.

A couple of months from now I hope to add Maine, Massachusetts, and possibly Connecticut.

I also want to get a Utah license. I am waiting for the course again in my area!

Rhode Island? What is this Rhode Island and why would anyone want to go there?

But it's good in twenty two states, at last check.:neener:

None, but MO and FL on the way!

I have three;

NY
PA
Utah

only 0

1

I'm surrounded by anti / unfriendly States so I just keep it in PA

I dont know...i got NV, and whatever states reciprocate with NV.

NONE, I live In Hawaii, and while they have CCW on the books, you can forget
about it, :banghead: even ex cops can't get one !!!! :uhoh:

I have my PA permit right now. In a few months I will get my FL. permit. Then in Jan. of 2005 I will get my Mo permit.


clipse

WA and SC. Two states that reciprocate with almost no others, and are recognized by pretty much only those states that recognize any CCW.

Applying for a NH non-res. To get some travelability at a low price. FL is great, but dang expensive for non-res.

I have 5...

CT
FL
MA
NH
ME

DW

Mine is for SC but it is good in a bunch of states.

the instructor at the semi auto self defense course I took here in oklahoma said that oklahoma ccw is good in all concealed carry states as well as all other state ccw license being good here so I reckon when my ccw license gets in I'll be allowed to carry in all of them.

Just my home state of Michigan which covers roughly half the 50 states :(

Ohio is the one that really bugs me because I'm from there and travel there at least 4 times a year. I also like to travel south and Ohio and South Carollina are the states that would cause me grief, well maybe West Virginia too.

:scrutiny:

said that oklahoma ccw is good in all concealed carry states

I'd get that in writing, along with a photocopy of his state bar registration and an endorsement of his malpractice policy. Oh yeah, I'd get a really good bail bond surety.

I'd do this how, while you're still on the outside. :banghead:

Start HERE (http://www.packing.org/state/index.jsp/oklahoma) if you want a first cut on that advice.

said that oklahoma ccw is good in all concealed carry states
22 states honor it
27 don't

OK does seem to honor everyone else's CCWs though.

Not a one. I'm very seldom outside of the P.R.o. Illinois, and I don't have spare cash around to get out of state CCWs I would never use.

I currently hold Texas and Guam and I am waiting arrival of my non-resident Florida.

Guam issues CCW permits? Never thought they would, as I always assumed they had a political climate similar to Hawaii there (IE, very liberal and fairly anti-gun).

In Guam all guns must be registered and you have to have a permit to have a firearm on the island. That permit is for open carry though it is rarely done. If you do you will be THE photo op for Japanese tourists. The police are surprisingly pro-gun and I often heard about the 'right to bear arms'. The concealed option is rare, but not impossible, just do your homework up front.

Just one... Indiana. That covers me for every state I'm likely to walk in except Texas, Ohio and Illinois. And I ain't holding my breath on ever being able to carry in Illinois. ;)

So far just MA, But I will apply for ME and NH soon

CA resident, NV, UT, FL nonres, Good for 30 states total according to the packing.org (http://www.packing.org) License Tool.

I have a MN and just sent in the aplication for the UT. These two permit will cover me in most of the Midwest states.

4
MA
ME
NH
FL

All together I think that that covers me in 25 states. I obtained the top three as I travel frequently in those states. I picked up FL primarily in case I hunt in some of the others.

Just have my homestate with Virginia, but as soon as the semester ends, Im sending in a Pa and FL application which will give me most of the east coast. Now if only Md would get ccw, it would make my life a lot easier when visiting my mom at work.

One.. Florida

Resident Permit for Florida.
Applying for the Maine non-resident permit as we visit my in-laws up there every year and they don't have reciprocity with Florida. It sucks driving from here to Maine due to the anti states in between that don't allow CCW or don't have reciprocity with Florida.

Only a Kentucky permit...

- but it covers me very well when I leave KY.

MA, NH, FL.

Old thread I know, but I just sent in my NH permit application so I thought I'd resurrect it. Right now I just have VA. I have family in PA so I'd like something that is valid there, and NH is a better permit than PA reciprocity-wise.

Florida would be nice, but I don't travel outside of VA & PA often enough to justify the cost. Utah is another possibility. Any others besides FL & UT that do non-resident permits with such good reciprocity?

Still dragging my feet on getting my paper work in for my FL. KS doesn't recognize arming oneself outside the home for anyone but the .gov so it would only be good when I'm travelling in MO or other nearby states that do recognize my right to self defense.

None, except the 2nd Amendment. But they don't recognize that here in California. :(

WA, NV, AZ, NH. Which makes me good in 30 states, per the packing.org license tool.

I wish I could get OR, since I have family there, but AZ residents are SOL (not a contigous state).

BTW--Gabe--If you're still monitering this thread, your WA license is good until it expires, regardless of where you live. You don't even have to update your address (AFAIK).

50, it's called HR218!

But, that aside, I have my MA permit, which is recognized in: AK, AL, AR, ID, IN, KY, MI, MS, MO, OK, TN, UT.

I also have my NH non-resident permit, which is good for: CO, GA, NC, ND, WY.

I have my applications for my CT and ME non-resident permits, since I travel there, too. Instead of dealing with the common hassles of HR218, I'd rather just have the permits. That way, no detention and calls of verification to my boss at 2am to verify employment.

I've also considered getting my non-resident FL permit, which will also add: LA, PA, SD and TX.

NM and NH. Plan on getting Fl. but now that Tx. recognized my NM CHL, that's a lower priority for now.

With the 2 CHLs I hav, I'm covered in NM, TX, CO, AZ, OK, and MO. and that's about as far as I have any intention of going right now.

Ultimatly, I plan on getting as many CHLs as I can.

Minnesota, my home state, Florida, Pennsylvania, New Hampshire.

Michigan and Florida Non resident

Ohio and Florida non resident.

just TX, where I'm a resident

It's not allowed where I live (Click here if you want to help change this http://www.illinoiscarry.com). The only thing that's (temporarily) kept me from getting a non-resident Florida permit is the cost of the class and application fee.

2, :cool: DE Home state & PA :cool:

do you guys travel that much, or is it one of those 'I have it because I can' type things?

Two. NM resident and FL non-resident.

do you guys travel that much, or is it one of those 'I have it because I can' type things? For me, it's a little of both. While I only travel about 1 State in any direction going to SCA (http://www.sca.org) events, I also want as many licenses as I can get just because I can get them. I also feel that the more licenses that are issued, the better the statistics will be in our favor when pushing CCW in States that don't have it and for improving CCW laws in States that have them.

I have Minnesota (both a five year and a 1 year) and Florida and Nevada.
Florida cause of the good reciprocity, and Nevada cause they don't take out of state permits. I love Las Vegas, but wouldn't visit un-armed.

I make it a point not to vacation in states I can't carry in.

I also feel that the more licenses that are issued, the better the statistics will be in our favor when pushing CCW in States that don't have it and for improving CCW laws in States that have them.

that makes sense. I guess that's the biggest reason that I got my CHL to begin with.

Zero currently. I let all of them lapse when I got federal agent creds. At one time I had Maine, NH, Massachusetts, Rhode Island, and Florida. Probably shouldn't have let the Mass one expire. Won't be too much of a problem as long as HR 218 isn't overturned.

Hopefully we can bring everyone else along and get national reciprocity.

Interesting, I never realized the huge number of people with NH non-resident permits.

2

Only one Florida,I've had it since 1987 when Florida enacted the Right to Carry.It covers all the states I plan on going.Except Illinois.There I take my chances.

Ruger Redhawk

I looked at the map at packing.org, and I can drive all the way to MI with my ccw and be legal. If I go through NM, all I need to do uncover it...no biggie.

I love this country.

As of Friday, 2:

CA and UT

NY, PA, FL.

Two:
TX
NH

Billmanweh
do you guys travel that much, or is it one of those 'I have it because I can' type things?

The NH is a good deal for TX residents: cheap & easy to apply for. It also used to "plug holes" for me in GA, MS, AL, before MS & GA honored TX CHL (AL still does not honor TX CHL)

TX Reciprocity Map:
http://www.packing.org/gs/texas_map.gif

NH Map:
http://www.packing.org/gs/new_hampshire_map.gif

Only SC for now. I got the paperwork for FL, but never sent it in. Since my (now ex) gf doesn't live there anymore, and my buddy graduated from UM, I have no reason to go to FL. SC just recently got reciprocity with NC which is awesome because I go there regularly. I'll probably get either NH of FL in the next year or so, just so I can carry in GA.

I Have a Concealed carry permit. and lived on Guam for 19yrs. Our Gun laws are ok. But, have to register them:(. Evil black rifles are every where here.:evil:

very pro gun here. open/Concealed carry are only for permit holders. (we shadow some state laws also.)


Destructive devices like Street sweepers are legal here. but, If purchased before a bill that passed in the late 80's.. Owner, Can sell to registered persons. but, the Destructive Device cannot leave the territory of Guam. or, something to that matter.

(From what I was told)

There are more registration cabinets for Firearms. then there are for Guam ID holders.:p

I have a resident MO permit.

(Reciprocity in: Alabama, Alaska, Arizona, Arkansas, Colorado, Delaware, Florida, Georgia, Idaho, Indiana, Kansas, Kentucky, Louisiana, Michigan, Minnesota, Mississippi, Missouri, Montana, Nevada, North Carolina, North Dakota, New Hampshire, New Mexico, Ohio, Oklahoma, Pennsylvania, South Carolina, South Dakota, Tennessee, Texas, Utah, Vermont, Virginia, West Virginia)

Question for the O.P. - Are you a resident of Oregon or Washington?

I have a C.P.L. Wash. State. AFAIK Oregon doesn't recip.

For anyone, is it Nevada or Utah that allows non-residents to get a CCW and with it it's good for 11 of the western states?

just 1 in nebraska

What gggman said. I have a ME resident, NH non-resident, and don't need one in VT.

Blind Justice: You are correct -- Oregon does not offer reciprocity to Washington State residents, nor to anyone else for that matter. It's a sore spot here. On the other hand, Oregon's license is no good in Washington, Idaho, etc. Many Oregon residents opt for a Utah license, which is obtainable by mail and is good for 21 states (I think) and the Beaver State's immediate neighbors.

OH res
PA nonres

Good for many states.

I have 0

I was thinking of getting a another one because of the extra States, but I decided one infringement fee was enough. :barf:

Only one: Michigan.

(2) PA and Utah

I have Florida.
I don't need any others.

AFS

Virginia & Florida

One is all I need - Utah.

It also covers me for when I visit my place outside of WSS, WV.

I have My Oregon resident and New Hampshire non-resident. I eventually will get my Utah as well.

Two, Montana and a Washington non-resident. I picked up the Washington State permit because my Mother lives there and I go to visit here several times a year and Washington doesn't offer reciprocity to Montana permits. I was actually quite surprised how easy a Washington permit was to acquire.

2 - LEOSA 2004 as retired LEO w/current proficiency certification & WV CCL to cover any lapse in getting recertified and is good for our most common travel destinations in NC and VA ...

Nick

3 Ct, Nh, Fl

Connecticut
Florida
Maine
New Hampshire
Utah
Virginia

Not enough, as I can't freely travel while armed, and yet too many, as the whole mess is an infringement on 2A.

I have 1 (WA), and if the packet they sent me in '04 is still good, need to have my fingerprints done to apply for FL--too bad there's only one place in Pierce County that does 'em, and I can't get a carpool or reasonable-length bus connections down there...

In Guam all guns must be registered and you have to have a permit to have a firearm on the island. That permit is for open carry though it is rarely done. If you do you will be THE photo op for Japanese tourists. The police are surprisingly pro-gun and I often heard about the 'right to bear arms'.

I think this stems from their tiff with the Japanese in WWII - our Asian friends committed quite the atrocities and really pissed of the good people of Guam. When I was talking to a couple Christian gentlemen from Guam, their demeanor changed real quick when talking about their experiences when they were kids.

A good site for CCW reciprocity is http://carryconcealed.net/legal/reciprocity.php. Enjoy.

Just 1. Minnesota. I spend very little time outside of MN. I sometimes drive into Wisconsin for various reasons but obviously no carry there so eh. I do vacation down in Florida once a year and don't carry. 14 other states honor the MN permit but I haven't gone to any of them.

Just one for me.

I need to get a FL permit So I can carry in Ohio and some other states.

OH Resident and FL Non-Resident...totals 33 states. It would be 35 but CO & NH only honor FL f you are a resident of that state.

just oregon but i once i stop being so lazy i'll get mine for Utah which covers 20 or so states....i don't really travel around to other states all that much (both me and my wifes families all live in Oregon)....I do got to WA on occasion which the Utah one would cover

Used to have several. Now I have just one. Dang recipical laws. No need for several.

Hope SCOTUS decides for the 2nd Amendment and CCW becomes like a drivers licence. All 50 states.

Oklahoma resident + Florida. I was debating whether to renew the Florida permit. It only gets me another state or two, but it also provides overlap if Oklahoma is slow on the renewal when it comes up. I decided today to go ahead and renew. I'm still trying to get the fingerprint ink off of my fingers.

two calif. and utah which covers about 30 states i intend to get oregon since i have friends there and visit quite often since i'm in a bordering state it's possible

I made up an excel file from the info at packing.org, while contemplating my next permit. Note that it is entirely possible that it is all wrong, so double check before you take it as gospel.....

How much did it cost to get a non resident Washington license?

I have been thinking about it for awhile.

I have three, California, Florida and Utah. State laws and these permits provide 32 states where I can legally carry concealed.

I've actually carried in 25 of these states so far.

IMHO, we shouldn't have to pay a "tax" to exercise our right to defend ourselves.

However, I've never seen a politician who didn't have some sort of benefit plan . . . and the plan always involves me having to pay for that "right."

So, my GA permit is all I plan to buy . . . and its honored in a lot of the other states already.

If some state won't honor it, and believe me, I always check . . . I'll spend my vacation money somewhere else.;)

T.

Two Michigan and Florida non resident

Just Colorado.

Colorado and Utah - I believe that covers 34 states currently.

Missouri and Utah, which, if my memory is correct, allows me to carry in every state that allows ccw. The only problem is all my out of state trips right now are to IL which doesn't allow concealed carry. :banghead: Not only that but the most direct route to the states I am most likely to visit, at the present anyway, require I go thru IL. :banghead::banghead:

Ohio and Utah, but next month when I relocate back to Utah my Ohio will no longer be valid.
Think I am gong to pick up a FL to fill the gap.

Florida and Washington. My Oregon permit isn't good anymore; I moved. :(

Watch out for the states that don't honor if you're not a resident...as in my case, CO and NH are *not* covered with the FL non-resident permit.

One fo SC, got a PA coming in the mail.

I needed something that would let me carry in GA (my SC won't) and I heard the PA was really easy to get, and quick.

I have a PA resident permit. Good for just about all the states on the east coast except a few including South Carolina.

I have both a Virginia resident and a Florida resident permit. The former expires this September and the later is where I currently live.

Talk about thread necromancy . . .

PA and Utah. I got Utah because I had to travel to Virginia on occasion for work. PA and Virginia now have reciprocity. But seeing as how the renewal for Utah is only $10.00, I'm going to keep it.

I have eighteen different licenses for each of the seven identities that I use to confuse those who are trying to track me, as well as six licenses for the four back up identities that I have not yet used (I keep them off the grid in case of emergency)... :rolleyes:

ONE
I don't travel that much anymore. When I do it's in states that honor the Ohio permit.
The only exception would be when I fly to visit my son in Sacramento. Then it's pointy stick time.
BTW - You could not pay me enough to move back to California....a short visit is sufficient.
Jack

Three,
Missouri
Florida
Pennsylvania
I like to collect them :)

Ohio and reciprocity with:
Alaska
Arizona
Arkansas
Delaware
Florida
Idaho
Kentucky
Michigan
Missouri
North Carolina
Oklahoma
South Carolina
Tennessee
Utah
Virginia
Washington
West Virginia
Wyoming

Can't understand why no reciprocity with Indiana & Pennsylvania?

Can't understand why no reciprocity with Indiana & Pennsylvania?

Obviously check yourself, but I think you will find that Indiana honors Ohio's (and all others) just not the other way around. I think it's because Ohio will only reciprocate with states that have training requirements as stringent as theirs.

I don't vouch for the accuracy, but check out: http://www.ccrkba.org/reciprocity.html

All 50.

LEOSA

I have only a PA permit but most would be surprised how many States honor the PA permit.

The below list came right from the PA Attorney General's WEB site. I'm posting it just to help anyone who has a PA permit but doesn't know which States have a reciprocity agreement with PA.

Category 1: States that have entered into written reciprocity agreements with Pennsylvania. (Title 18 Pa.C.S.A. § 6109(k))

The following states have entered into formal written reciprocity agreements with Pennsylvania under section 6109(k) of the Uniform Firearms Act. These agreements provide for reciprocal recognition of valid licenses/permits issued by both states. Recognition in Pennsylvania is based on the individual's issuance of a valid license/permit by the reciprocal contracting state, and not on the license/permit holder's place of residence.

Alaska
Arizona
Arkansas
Florida
Georgia
Kentucky
Michigan
Mississippi
Missouri
New Hampshire
North Carolina
Oklahoma
South Dakota
Tennessee
Texas
Virginia
West Virginia
Wyoming

Category 2: States that have statutory reciprocity under 6106(b)(15) of the Uniform Firearms Act.

The following states have been granted statutory reciprocity without a formal written agreement under 6106(b)(15), based on the determination of the Attorney General that the other state has granted reciprocity to Pennsylvania license holders, and that the other state's laws governing firearms are similar.

Colorado
Idaho
Indiana
Louisiana
Montana
North Dakota
Utah

Category 3: Unilateral reciprocity granted by another state for Pennsylvania license holders.

This category encompasses states which allow an individual issued a valid concealed firearm license from Pennsylvania to carry a firearm while in those respective states.

NONE

Category 4: Pennsylvanians may apply for a license/permit from another state ("Application states").

Maine
Maryland
Massachusetts
Washington

Category 5: State does not recognize or grant licenses/permits to individuals from another state, currently does not extend reciprocal privileges to Pennsylvania license holders, or has not indicated current status.

Alabama
California
Connecticut
Delaware
Hawaii
Illinois
Iowa
Kansas
Minnesota
Nebraska
Nevada
New Jersey
New Mexico
New York
Ohio
Oregon
Rhode Island
South Carolina
Wisconsin

Category 6: Carry permitted without license/permit.

Vermont

**Vermont allows possession or carrying of a concealed firearm without a license/permit.

I currently have one in Washington (for 21 years) and Idaho (for 9 years now). It covers the areas I work and travel all the time.
