Utah allow you to carry in several boarder states. But not Maryland. You can see what states are covered based on this map.

Utah permit allows you to carry in every state bordering MD. How close to a border are you? I took the class because it was an opportunity to learn more about firearms. Now I can carry in 30 or so states.

If you never leave Maryland the Utah permit will do nothing for you.

Most of the people that take our Utah Concealed Firearm Permit course because they travel. Some for business, others for pleasure. We find that many of our students ride motorcycles or own R.V.'s. What they all have in common is that they want to be able to protect themselves when they can, even if they can't in their home state.

Here's Utah's website reciprocity/recognition list. Although there are many states that will recognize the Utah concealed firearm permit, the State of Utah has formal reciprocity (written agreement) with the following states.

Alabama
Alaska
Colorado
Florida
Georgia
Louisiana
Mississippi
New Hampshire
North Carolina
North Dakota
Ohio
South Dakota
Texas
Virginia
Washington State
West Virginia

The following states recognize the Utah concealed firearm permit.

Arizona
Arkansas
Delaware
Idaho
Indiana
Iowa
Kentucky
Michigan
Minnesota
Missouri
Montana
Nebraska
Oklahoma
Pennsylvania
Tennessee
Vermont
Wisconsin
Wyoming

The following states DO NOT recognize the Utah concealed firearm permit.

California
Connecticut
Hawaii
Illinois
Kansas
Maine
Maryland
Massachusetts
Nevada
New Jersey
New Mexico
New York
Oregon
Rhode Island
South Carolina

Here's a link to the above information. I edited the list by adding the red highlights. The states shown in red do not accept the Utah permit when held by a nonresident of Utah. The states shown in Green do not accept any Utah permit.

Well said... If you never leave MD, theres no reason to get a Utah or any non resident permit. However if you do travel to surrounding states the Utah is covers them. Take note though before going to another state, you should look into their gun laws to keep you out of trouble.

This is true, of course.

However, I got mine as much to make a political statement as anything else. The more people who have CCW's of any kind, the more politicians will pay attention to people who support the right of individuals to keep and bear arms. A CCW leaves a very official record of how many people are pro-gun. Otherwise the numbers mostly come from surveys and other kinds of guesstimates and thus their accuracy is easier to question.

The license itself and the required training are not, in the grand scheme of things, expensive. So, frankly, I urge everyone who is eligible to get a permit, Utah or otherwise.

BTW, I took my training from Mdeng and can't say enough good about it. He kept the class interesting and even took good care of me when Utah rejected my prints the first time around. I have no affiliation with his business other than that of a satisfied customer, and the only price break I got was for being an NRA member.

Good point. I hadn't bothered before but I might have to get it after all.

 

[seankar]

Well yu can at least carry in Delaware with a Utah permit. But there is a lot of good info in the Utah course. If you are in North East then one of Parbreak's classes at Freestate would probably be the closest for you.

NJ & MD I feel for you, that is a bad combo

 

[1slo_camaro]

Hahaha thanks.


Sean ill look into it. I sat through a class in michigan but nevet got my permit. And not trying to be cocky or an asshat but being a firearms instructor in the military it seemed like it was the same matetial i teach otbers

 

[Biggfoot44]

Don't have any knowledge of Mich required classwork.

My Utah class was from an instructor (excellent) who is not an IP ( but is affilated with a Club that is well represented here) . But the class outlines are each approved by Utah BCI , and there should be a high degree of consistancy of content.

It is not very much about How to go bang. It IS an excellent one day class in the carrying of firearms in public.

another good ccw site

www.handgunlaw.us

 

[Mdeng]

another good ccw site

www.handgunlaw.us

That will not hold up in court if their info is wrong.

While I like the way they make it easy to find info everyone should confirm that info on the state/gov website. Info posted on the state/gov site can be used in court if there is a problem.

 

[Gary Slider]

Mdeng is correct. Verify everything you read on a government website. If you want to know if a state honors your permit/license check your own state and the state that they say they honor. I have seen states list states in error. I have seen Arkansas List Massachusetts as a state that would honor a AR Permit/License. I have seen North Dakota list Massachusetts as a state that would honor the ND Permit/license. This was on their state websites. ND corrected it when I advised them of their error in 15 minutes. It took AR 6 months to remove MA from the list of states they stated would honor their permit/license.

So check both states to make sure. I try to put links to state websites so you can confirm the laws in each states. Some states put out tons of info while others don't. But do confirm. You are the one who will pay the consequences if someone post something in error.

Also be aware that some states actually put disclaimers on their websites stating this information is believed to be correct but is not law. So be careful.

Thank you Gary.

I have also seen privately owned web sites make mistakes. For example one site keep NV listed as a Reciprocity state with UT for 4 months after NV had dropped the UT reciprocity.

One of my customers ran into major problems in NV when he used that private site. Had he checked UT or NV's web sites he would have known not to carry in NV with his UT permit.

 

[ProShooter]

Aside from the carry privileges afforded by the permit, just having exposure to the information in the course itself it a plus for many people.

I've done a number of classes in Pa. where there is no training requirement to get a permit. You would be surprised how many people with guns and permits know nothing about safety or their guns.
