I'm traveling on a vacation to Florida, during which vacation I promised my mother that my beloved CZ75 would not accompany me. (Liberal grandparents who could care less, but mother being who she is 'emotional intelligence' etc.)
Anyway, in VA my CHP only allows me to carry a concealed handgun, but in Florida, you are issued a CWP which covers all other sorts of fun instruments (anything from switchblades to butterfly knives). In VA, I carry my assisted opener knife because there is no law against it, HOWEVER, in Florida, its specifically illegal to carry anything "other than a common pocketknife" without a CWP. I also have an email from the Brevard County Sheriff stating that my assisted-opener is NOT common and he advised me to NOT carry it w/o a CWP.
So my question: Does my VA CHP allow me to carry my 'uncommon' pocketknife as if it were a FL CWP due to reciprocity? Or will my only line of defense be my abnormally-bright microstream?
tl;dr: Does reciprocity make my VA CHP a FL CWP?
