I have a question that this thread has raised in my mind. I went and compared what states honored reciprocity from other states, and NY is pretty poor (does not honor any other state) while is only honored by a few (AK, ID, IN, KY, MI, MO, MT, OK, SD, TN, TX, UT, VT).
Since I occasionally travel to/through other states, the following question comes to mind:
If I receive an out-of-state permit to, say, PA, would other states honor the PA Out-of-state permit that I received THROUGH my NY permit, or are out-of-state permits only good in the specific state applied? If I could get a few out-of-state permits, I would be golden.
Being a NY resident, if I dont get at least PA permitting me to carry, im trapped in the northeast US... cant drive anywhere but Vermont, maybe Maine.
Update:
The state of Colorado no longer recognizes the validity of any permit issued by any state to a nonresident of that state (see CRS 18-12-213 amended 2007).
Found this looking around (I may be moving to CO in a few years). This indicates to me that while they no LONGER honor out-of-state permits from non residents, they
did at one point.
