DE drops VA reciprocity

[swinokur]

From Gary Slider at handgunlaw.us

Delaware this morning removed Virginia from the list of states it honors. I believe this was caused by Virginia allowing training to take place over the internet. I am not sure if VA will drop DE. Time will tell. www.handgunlaw.us has been updated to show this change in who honors whose permit/license. http://attorneygeneral.delaware.gov/...dweapons.shtml

Both Ohio and Michigan are taking up legislation this week on changing their Firearm Laws. The bills as passed by one house make major changes. In Michigan Registration/Places off Limits are a couple of the biggies that could be removed. In Ohio they are talking about Universal Recognition, Loaded mags outside the firearm would no longer equal a loaded firearm even with the firearm in the trunk and the mag is in the glove box plus other changes. I am not sure what the outcome will be in these two states but hoping for the best.

Wisconsin’s Concealed Carry Law has been in effect for a year. So far WI has issued about 144,000 Concealed Weapons Licenses. That means residents of WI have spent over $7,000,000 to obtain a state license to legally carry a firearm. That does not count what they spent on Firearms/Ammunition/Holsters/Ammo Carriers/Training and other odds and ends to obtain that license. Law Enforcement is not reporting any major problems

AZ would probably be easiest and cheapest. Your VA permit will suffice for the training requirement...and it's only $60.

Obtain AZ permit

What did you use for training to get you VA permit?

If you need training anyway why not get them all. I did.

Cost wise if you need training UT is the better option with the course being a one stop shop. We do the required lecture course, fingerprints, passport photos, help each applicant go over their paperwork to ensure it is correct and complete, then we mail the application packet to Utah. All of this is done for one low price+application fee. $151.00 total out the door for a MDShooters member.

If you want to apply for FL and take our UT course you then meet up with me at the range for a proficiency test. You will then receive a certificate showing you completed all requirements for FL. Complete the FL application packet and mail it off to be processed. Please note that FL has different requirements for fingerprints. We can not do the Fingerprints for FL.

AZ will accept the certificate for FL as proof of training, we can fingerprint you for AZ at the UT course if you request a packet and receive it before taking the UT course..

I have multiple permits, changes is the laws happen all the time and I want as much coverage as I can get.

If you plan on a possible vacation to FL, then that's the one I'd get since they won't honor non-resident out of state permits.

So florida will issue a Non-resident CCW, but will not honor any other states? Just want to clarify. Thanks!

 

[swinokur]

FL does not honor any other state's non resident permit. If you want to carry in FL, you need to get a FL NR permit.

FYI

ME,NH,CO, MI and SC do not honor non resident permits either.

Finally called and got an update on my Fl permit from the 2nd week of September. Said it was issued and mailed. Waiting for it now.
