What permit will you use if National Reciprocity passes

[Gryphon]

Out of state non-resident. Because Maryland refuses to honor other state's permits those states fail to reciprocate. So I'll spend money elsewhere.

Which state permit is the easiest/most cost effective for a non resident to obtain?

Utah and Florida are the two big ones for MD residents. I don't think they have the same reciprocity coverage so you'd have to check to see which one was better for your travel plans. Not hard to get either one, and there's nothing saying you can't have both.

I already have Utah so there's no way I'd give MD any more money.

I will stick with the out of state one I have. Wouldn't get a md one unless it was a LOT cheaper and super easy. Right now, renewing every 7 years is pretty cheap and easy and md doesn't get any of my money.

I make a point of vacationing, buying gas out of state, and doing anything I can outside of md to keep them from getting any more of my $$$. So, this will likely be the same way for me.

Utah

 

[Rack&Roll]

I've got a MD permit, but could also use UT, PA, FL, VA, AZ, ME, CT or DC.


What I really need is a bigger wallet....

A few more and you will have National Reciprocity, homestyle., LOL

New Hampshire would by far be the easiest, no prints, picture, training.
There's a thread around here somewhere about it.

For the poll, I selected the 'MD permit if...' option. Barring that, though, I should soon be able to provide a G&S (hack... gag... cough... - sorry, it sticks in the throat...) reason to obtain a MD W&C.

Under national reciprocity, though, I would think that VA, FL, UT, etc... should get a person's money if unable to get the MD permit - those states have demonstrated a willingness to honor a citizen's constitutionally-protected (God-given) rights.

EDIT: Better yet... doesn't anyone else realize that CC is a compromise? One that makes the forthright and honest among us (those of us without criminal records and a history of responsible behavior) into someone who goes to great lengths to conceal something? National reciprocity of CCW is NOT the answer. SCOTUS ruling that OC is 50 state legal IS the answer. Honestly, to the detractors, let the druggie store robber see my handgun on my hip - let that be the thing that makes him check into rehab tomorrow with the realization that he almost died trying to rob some cash to score. Carrying a firearm in public should carry both responsibility and consequences. Instead of the compromise of a 50 state CCW, we should be after a 50 state OC being recognized as a constitutional guarentee.

Az - But that's now my Home State Permit.

 

[Rusty1]

Patience my ...

In Texas now. License to carry in process.

 

[Stoic58]

I would go with New Hampshire or Utah, after reviewing which states have reciprocity with these two.

 

[Texas]

In Texas now. License to carry in process.

That is almost a 100 percent go for you. I am keeping my Tx permit.

 

[DaftPict]

UT since I expect MSP to deny my MD app

So when this happens (because it will happen) do you thing one of the strings will be standardizing the qualifications to carry in each state?

 

[BeoBill]

The idea is that when National reciprocity comes, MD will go shall-issue. Just the premise of the question....

But Maryland already IS Shall Issue. Just arbitrarily and capriciously, with G&S.

EDIT: And I'll happily keep renewing my Utah. MSP LD can SUCK IT.

 

[highli99]

PA is the cheapest, fastest, and best customer service of all the ones I have. $20, a simple form, and 1 week.

Unfortunately you need a MD permit first.

 

[GUNSnROTORS]

Even with options, I'll stick with John Moses Browning - and Utah.

Not trying to start an interwebs riot, but the Utah state firearm is an added incentive.

 

[budzic]

If MD (miraculously) became a shall issue in the wake of national reciprocity, it certainly wouldn't be because we had a legislature that represented the natural rights of it's people.

I suspect it would be only to gain revenues or maintain databases on those who might carry.

Until MD not only recognizes our rights to carry, but affirms our rights to defense of self and others by passing laws that protect us, I will happily give money to another state for an out-of-state non-resident permit.

A persons castle should extend beyond their property to wherever they may be, and the right to protect one's castle should not be jeopardized by a duty to retreat. Defensive acts should be further protected from prosecutorial zeal by having a clear, simple and defined standard. Finally one should be free from fear of reprisal by abuse of civil litigation.

I will use the Utah permit that I already have, however I would consider a Maryland permit if they scaled back the training,and did away with the references and interview nonsense.
