Virginia has removed Missouri www.vsp.state.va.us/Firearms_Reciprocity.shtm from the list of states they honor. I do not know the reason why they removed Missouri. Missouri honors all other states permit/licenses. This is what the Virginia Citizens Defense League www.vcdl.org/ sent out in an updated about this:

“ Missouri concealed handgun permits are no longer honored in Virginia. I have not yet had time to see what happened. But we need to fix this situation permanently by honoring ALL other permits. VCDL will work yet again to get such a bill passed during the next General Assembly session.”

The Missouri AG was still listing Nevada and Virginia as states that honor their Permit/License to Carry. I contacted them last Friday and Monday they updated their listing. The Missouri AG doesn’t have someone watching all those other states. They were listing those states to assist their residents to keep them informed of where their Missouri Permit/License was valid. I sent the email because people were emailing me telling me Handgunlaw.us had incorrect data and that NV honored MO. One guy got very nasty. Sent them to http://nvrepository.state.nv.us/ccw_changes.shtml to see for themselves. Never got an apology from the nasty guy. I have to say I have only gotten three emails like that over the years and all were just misinformed. UPDATE: I got a very nice email (9/19/13) from the MO AG’s Office thanking me for pointing out that they still listed NV and VA. Very nice to hear from them and the Thank You was very much appreciated.

But then the Alabama AG has not updated his website http://ago.alabama.gov/Page-Gun-Reprocity-Law Starting Aug 1 Alabama honored all other states. His website doesn’t show that. No reply from an email to him on why the delay on updating his site. One AL Sheriff has it worded on his FAQs www.madisoncountyal.gov/sheriff/pistolfaq.html Another has the new law posted on his site. www.montgomerysheriff.com/Sites/Montgomery_County/Documents/Sheriff/Act 2013-283 Gun Bill.pdf I know the difficulties of keeping info up to date and States have a lot more pages to watch over than I do. Many times they just need a heads up and they take care of it. Can’t fix something if you don’t know it’s broken.
 
Thank you, Gary. You are a great help to a large group of Americans and it is appreciated by most of us.

I have a bad feeling that this is a trend that's likely to continue, and not just to Missouri.

Liability from state to state?
 
Any update on this as a former Virginia resident that still has family in the state, and current Missourian I am very interested in this. I can't seem to find any sort of official statement. Are we sure this is not just an oversight on the website?

I will say if all the OP said is true this is extremely odd, it is so easy to get a permit in VA, and while MO is a shall issue state it still has higher fees and training requirements that VA does not.
