Lots of info here, Thanks !

Nice post & article. I'm planning on a Utah out-of-state, but I'm not kidding myself: I doubt it carries much weight, especially in the People's Republic of MD.

I disagree with item 6. I have 8 NR permits and NONE of them required a home state permit first.

In fact, NH just dropped their requirement due to a court order and a NH NR permit allows carry in PA.

And UT only requires a home state permit if your home state recognizes UT. Clearly not the case in MD.

Just my opinion based on my exp[experience.

Yeah, several things in at article weren't correct and the proofreading was a little lacking, but the general idea was good.

swinokur · Dec 16, 2016

I just didn't want people who read the article to be discouraged. Clearly a home state permit is NOT required to get any of of the NR permits we in MD can obtain.

And with MD not recognizing UT, none of the states he mentioned require one. He got the UT requirement half right, but he left out the important part that allows MD residents to get a UT permit

An important distinction in my opinion.

swinokur · Dec 16, 2016

Here is my list of NR permits MD residents can get without a home state permit. Please feel free to add if you are aware of others. They all have varying training requirements and fees but having a home state permit is not one of them.

AZ
UT* (MD has no reciprocity so no home tate permit required)
FL
VA
CT
ME
NH (changed by NH SC decision)
NV
TX

which one of these is even the most beneficial/ least pita to get these days?

swinokur · Dec 16, 2016

where do you want to carry? If you want to carry in FL you need the FL permit. UT has great reciprocity for 32 states last I counted. You must take a UT specific class from a UT certified instructor.

FL accepts an NRA Pistol cert or a Hunter Safety Cert. Fl. requires live fire except for the Hunter Safety certificate.

the other vary in fees and training.

you can check reciprocity and other info here

To mainly echo Swinkour, Va is easiest to initially aquire, but renewals are expensive. Utah has very inexpensive renewals, and certified Utah instructors are all around, including several IP's and forum regulars, and the classes are widely available. Fla will get the nod if you plan to visit actual Fla .

If Pa is prime importance to you , NH is the only easy option. At that point, the discussion becomes which two permits you want.

swinokur · Dec 16, 2016

Yep, TX requires you to take a class in TX from a TX certified instructor. Not even close when NH is your other option.

The only 2 NR permits PA honors are TX and NH.

BeoBill · Dec 16, 2016

I think you'll find NH is actually the easiest to acquire. Fill out the form and send it with a check, then watch the mail for your permit.

swinokur · Dec 16, 2016

yep, no training, no fingerprints.

imagine that

Schipperke · Dec 16, 2016

PA take a NH non res? Trump is correct, too much crap to navigate. We need a Federal reciprocity bill Day one.

UT recognized in more states that pretty much any other we can get.

FL required for FL.

VA recommended (VA recognizes UT non-res), due to some issues with GFSZ.

NH is easiest to get and recognized by PA.

TX requires a trip to TX. Does not add anything with UT and NH.

NV requires trip to NV, but you can go to Vegas, take one day and get a permit. Only non-res that MD res can get that is recognized by NM.

CT required for CT, but I just avoid the North East.

We did a UT course with Duke's Defense. It was also good for FL and VA. He did fingerprints and photos for UT. Had packets with apps and fingerprint cards and instructions for FL and VA. And he is a few doors down from 2A.

Pinecone · Dec 16, 2016

Also number 8, fingerprints are not hard to get, at least in MD.

We did ours at Bel Air MVA. They can sign as a LEO for those fingerprints that require that.

Utah is great and is recognized in a lot of states :thumbsup:

But just to clarify on your second point: A Utah permit carries absolutely zero weight in MD.

AZ non res will also get you NM.

And they are super fast. Mailbox to mailbox in less than two weeks typically.

You forgot the District of Columbia. I know, technically not a state, more of it's own little cesspool....
