CC and traveling.

[Just One Shot]

I was wondering if other states recognize your right to CC if you have a permit from your home state? Is there a place on the web that list of all the states that allow CC and those that don't and regulations for those that do?

I know each state has different regulations ex: some states require you to notify an officer of the law you are carrying as soon as you are stopped while others do not. If you abide by their regulations will they let you continue or are you in for a big hassle?

Ohio has reciprocity in the following states:

* Alaska
* Arizona
* Arkansas
* Delaware
* Florida
* Idaho
* Kentucky
* Michigan
* Missouri
* North Carolina
* Oklahoma
* South Carolina
* Tennessee
* Utah
* Virginia
* Washington
* West Virginia
* Wyoming

This info can be found HERE

And in general, whether your state requires it or not, it is best to notify an officer immediately upon contact that you are carrying, where the weapon is located, and ask how he wishes to proceed. Its about the only time you can interrupt a LEO and not get into more trouble for it.

Best bet is to look up the states in which you'll be traveling - and see what states they honor.

In the example above - Ohio does not honor Indiana permits, but Indiana honors permits from every single state in the country. There's no reciprocity - but you'd be perfectly legal in Indiana. Vermont is another example where there's no reciprocity - but that's because there are no laws against carrying in VT. They don't issue permits - but there's no law against carrying a gun, concealed or not.

Paulup's list is complete in that it identifies states with whom Ohio has reciprocity. There are other states that honor Ohio's permit but Ohio does not honor their permit within its borders.

Most notable is Indiana, which honors all other state's permits.

In general, unless you are legally required to do so, that's a bad idea. All it does is make the stop take longer and open you up to harrasment at the hands of an anti cop.

I don't inform unless I am specifically asked if there's a weapon in the vehicle or I'm asked to step out of the car.
