PA No Longer Honors FL Non-Resident!!!

Gary Slider said:

The PA AG has posted a newly signed Reciprocity Agreement with Florida. The wording has changed. It now states:

The Commonwealth of Pennsylvania shall give full faith and credit to a valid Concealed Handgun License issued by the State of Florida to legal residents of the State of Florida;

PA already had a signed agreement with FL and now they have signed a new one. PA has been in a running argument with residents of PA carrying in PA with a FL Non-Resident Permit/License. Mainly in Philadelphia is where this has been coming up. But from the new agreement PA will no longer Honor the FL Non-Resident Permit/License. FL no longer puts the Address of their Permit/License holder on the Permit/License so your state issued ID will tell them your state of Residence. You can read the new agreement here:

I have been advised that your office has modified the Licence to carry reciprocity agreement with Florida. This is an inexcusable affront to the rights of citizens in all states. I carry lawfully in PA with a PA resident permit, numerous family and friends visit PA from surrounding states, and many have the popular FL non-resident permit. If your purpouse was to require PA residents to obtain a PA LTCF permit, then you have far overstepped that goal, and seem to have denied the residents of every other state their right to carry the means for self defense while in Pennsylvania. There are no notable crimes reported, shootings, or accidents that would illustrate any actual problem with the prior reciprocity agreement, making this decision even more puzzling. You have disarmed millions of PA visitors in response to a problem that does not exist. I can assure you Myself, and the gun rights community will be watching your actions closely, and will be energised and mobilized in future elections to ensure those who would disarm citizens are replaced with officials who will support our second ammendment rights.

There is a dupe thread about this, not sure who will be "official", or if they will merge.

Just got off the phone with the AG office, this is what I was told:

The agreement dated feb 1st closed the "FL loophole", only FL residents had reciprocity with a FL permit, slipped it under the radar.

People were upset that they have unknowingly been criminals for a week, so it was changed, the new letter dated today. PA residents will no longer be able to carry in PA on a FL permit after 120 days from today. They said this should only affect PA residents, not FL or 3rd party states, I told them that is not what the old notice said, and the new notice says nothing about 3rd party stte residents. Pretty much went downhill from there, and I probably made it on a new list. She was elected without much effort, she ran her campaign in Philly, and kept quiet in the rest of the state, she really needs to go.

for those inclined to contact the office, light her up, I know lots of MDers family included that carry on FL permits in PA
