Road Trip & Reciprocity

[Pat Cannon]

Hi all,

I'm driving from Minnesota to Colorado in November. I have my Minnesota carry permit, and have sent for my New Hampshire non-resident permit. We want to see Mount Rushmore anyway, which is cool because this way I don't even have to raise the issue of the other reason why we're not taking the slightly shorter route via Iowa and Nebraska, i.e. that their regimes do not recognize one's right to self-defense outside the home.

So anyway, you legal experts out there please clarify & correct for me:

1. I'm going through South Dakota. My Minnesota permit is good there. Cool.

2. Wyoming. They don't honor the MN permit, basically since we don't honor theirs, but they honor New Hampshire permits. Including NH non-resident? Does somebody know? The reason I wonder is:

3. Colorado -- bummer! They don't honor the MN permit, basically since we don't honor theirs, and if I'm understanding correctly what I've read, they now only recognize resident permits from NH. Is this true? If so I guess my heavily armed & CO-resident-permitted brother will have to protect me & my family on the streets while we're there.

Wyoming honors non-res NH permits. That said, I would avoid police confrontations if I were you. Legally you can't be charged with any crime by having a non-res permit from another state that is recognized in the state you're visiting, but the cops might still give you a hard time about it and even throw you in jail until it gets sorted out.

You are right about Colorado; in fact I'd just as soon avoid the state. Last time I went there I wasn't really impressed. I loved Wyoming and Utah, though.

I'm not entirely convinced that SB07-034 has become law in Colorado yet. The Colorado legislature's web site still shows it as pending, and CBI's reciprocity page hasn't changed either.

Don't believe everything you see there, they still have Kansas listed as "Right Denied".

BTW: Your Minnesota permit is good in Kansas!

I'm taking a roadtrip from TX (where I live and have a CHL) to Omaha, Nebraska in a couple of weeks. My understanding is that I can carry in OK and KS (obeying local laws, of course), but not in NE.

Am I correct or off base?

TX to NE road trip ...(assuming you are a TX resident)



Yes as to OK and KS and correct that it is a no-go in Nebraska.

I know with my pennsyvannia Permit I can carry in about 18 states. It all boils down to if the states agree on the means of aquiring ccw permits. the above mentioned website" www.packing.org " is very informative. I might suggest printing a copy of the agreement between the states you plan on driving through. I have relatives that live in Va and I found a pdf of the agreement for multiple states and Pa I carry when traveling.

Thanks, all, for your input. I will carry in TX, OK and KS, and take with me the text of reciprocity agreements that OK and KS have with TX. In NE, I will unload my weapon and lock it in a case.
