Non Resident Concealed Weapons Permit

[dancingwolf]

Looking strictly at PA and FL non-resident permits, both are quite easy to obtain and allow for reciprocity in a lot of states.
However, after May 1, one will not be able to apply for a PA non-resident permit via mail. Just something for you to consider.

If you want to be completely legal, you're going to have to get a separate permit from every State you wish to travel in, due to The Federal Gun Free School Zones Act of 1995.

I still have not received my AZ packet. I got a conformation of it being sent out on the 19th.

My reading is that you have to take the required CCW 8 hour training WITHIN the boundaries if the state of AZ. That kills that ( 4 me anyhow.)

Back to FL permit.

Call them back and let them know.

That is no longer the case....from their page:

Alternate Applicant Instructions.

If you possess documentation, as stipulated in ARS § 13-3112(E)(6)(b-d), you may qualify to obtain a permit without attending the DPS approved firearms-safety training course. Please contact the Concealed Weapons Permit Unit to obtain an application packet.

and from that statute

Hi All,
I just obtained a Florida Non-Resident CCW, (pretty easy and quick turn around), I live in NJ (yea I know it S*cks). I am NEW to a non-resident CCW or any CCW for that matter. In reading through the places that my permit is honored/not honored, I am getting dizzy. when reading through all of it...this state honors the CCW but not non-resident CCW....
Where can I carry without breaking the law?

Rookie question I know?

For you...FL permit is good in these blue states...the tan states are the ones that honor the FL permit but only if it is held by a FL resident...the tan ones are CO, ME, MI, NH, and SC.

Sonny boy and I both have Florida permits. We didn't even have to go there to apply nor get it. Mine took a little over three weeks to get (quite a while back) while sonny boy's took a week, well...a week after DH mailed it. That quick nowadays....
