What non resident permits does Virginia still accept?

I saw online tonight that VA isn't going to accept my permit from Florida after February 1st. Are there any non resident permits I can that will allow me carry legally while there?

I saw where it said open carry is legal does that require a permit? I'm going Spotsylvania County if that matters at all? I prefer concealed carry but want to legally armed while there. I know I can apply for a non res permit from there. However it's expensive and I may not have it in time. Thanks.

 

This site is your friend. http://handgunlaw.us/ Utah is an option.

 

You don't need to be armed anywhere, until you do need to be. Just like a seatbelt. You don't need it till you do.

 

Either that is old news about the Dec 2015-Feb 2016 dust-up, or something has changed.

Virginia State Police is still showing this as of tonight:

Virginia Concealed Handgun Permit Reciprocity and Recognition

As of July 1, 2016, pursuant to Virginia Code Section 18.2-308.014, the holder of a valid concealed handgun or concealed weapon permit or license issued by another state may carry a concealed handgun in Virginia provided all of the below conditions are met:

The holder of such permit or license is at least 21 years of age.
The permit or license holder carries a valid photo-identification issued by a government agency of any state or by the U.S. Department of Defense or U.S. Department of State.
The holder displays the permit or license and the government issued photo-identification upon demand by a law-enforcement officer.
The permit or license holder has not previously had a Virginia concealed handgun permit revoked.

Although the law requires Virginia to grant recognition to all states that issue permits, those states may not authorize Virginia permit holders to possess a firearm in their state.

Prior to traveling citizens should contact a representative of the state they intend to travel through to determine if that state will recognize their Virginia resident or non-resident concealed carry permit, or visit that state’s website for guidance.

I got my non-resident Virginia permit last year. I applied in February and it wasn’t issued until June, it isn’t a quick turnaround option. I was surprised it took so long, especially given that when Virginia CHPs changed from may issue to shall issue in 1995 I was a Virginia resident and my CHP was issued in less than three weeks. I applied the first day the courts were open after the law went into effect July 1, 1995.
