I'll be taking a trip in the next month to house/dog sit for some non-immediate family members. I've been researching CC laws and am still a bit confused.
I'll go state by state.
It looks at first like I'd be fine in NC but then there's this...
North Carolina Honors All Other States Permit/Licenses. Reciprocity/How This State Honors Other States Permit/Licenses § 14-415.24. Reciprocity; out-of-state handgun permits. (a) A valid concealed handgun permit or license issued by another state is valid in North Carolina. (b) Repealed by Session Laws 2011-268, s. 22(a), effective December 1, 2011.
SC seems mostly good too seeing how they have acknowledge VA permits...
23-31-215 (N) Issuance of Permits. (1) Valid out-of-state permits to carry concealable weapons held by a resident of a reciprocal state must be honored by this State, provided, that the reciprocal state requires an applicant to successfully pass a criminal background check and a course in firearm training and safety. A resident of a reciprocal state carrying a concealable weapon in South Carolina is subject to and must abide by the laws of South Carolina regarding concealable weapons. SLED shall maintain and publish a list of those states as the states with which South Carolina has reciprocity.
But then there's this, which makes no sense...
South Carolina Does Not Honor Non-Resident Permits/Licenses. You must be a resident of the state they honor for your permit to be valid in South Carolina.
GA seems particularly tricky as they don't list as acknowledging VA CC permits, but then there's this...
(e) Any person licensed to carry a handgun or weapon in any other state whose laws recognize and give effect to a license issued pursuant to this part shall be authorized to carry a weapon in this state, but only while the licensee is not a resident of this state; provided, however, that such licensee shall carry the weapon in compliance with the laws of this state.
FL seems good to go initially...
(1) Notwithstanding s. 790.01, a nonresident of Florida may carry a concealed weapon or concealed firearm while in this state if the nonresident: (a) Is 21 years of age or older. (b) Has in his or her immediate possession a valid license to carry a concealed weapon or concealed firearm issued to the nonresident in his or her state of residence. (c) Is a resident of the United States.

(3) If the resident of another state who is the holder of a valid license to carry a concealed weapon or concealed firearm issued in another state establishes legal residence in this state by: (a) Registering to vote; (b) Making a statement of domicile pursuant to s. 222.17; or (c) Filing for homestead tax exemption on property in this state, the license shall remain in effect for 90 days following the date on which the holder of the license establishes legal state residence. (4) This section applies only to nonresident concealed weapon or concealed firearm license holders from states that honor Florida concealed weapon or concealed firearm licenses. (5) The requirement of paragraph (1)(a) does not apply to a person who: (a) Is a service member, as defined in s. 250.01; or (b) Is a veteran of the United States Armed Forces who was discharged under honorable conditions.
But then there's this which makes little sense...
Florida will only honor permits from residents of the states they honor. They will not honor a NonResident permit from any state they honor.
This was all excerpt from handgunlaw.us. FWIW, the only stopping in states other than VA or FL would be for restroom breaks and food. And the family we're sitting for is very pro 2A. They carry themselves and are happy to have some pro 2A carrying family sit for them.
My initial plan was to carry my normal carry gear on me on the way to and from and for the duration, and an extra larger bedside pistol which would be unloaded and cased for the traveling.
I would appreciate any and all info/help.
I'll go state by state.
