Utah Permit Course In North Carolina?

[jg1967]

May I ask a question about this thread? I am looking for a CCW class in NC that does the course for the Utah permit, is there such a thing?

Out of curiosity, why would one want a Utah out of state permit? I compared their reciprocity and acceptance with NC, and Utah has 3 less states that accept their permit. Honestly, the only state that they cover that NC does not is Minnesota.

I used this link: Utah Department of Public Safety to see Utah's agreement/acceptance list.

Everyone has their reasons, and I am not trying to be offensive. I am actually interested to know if I am missing something.

I guess Troy ans Stony answered you question. I dont offer anything but NC because the reciprocity with a NC covers most anyone coming to me. But if ya need Utah looks like Stony has you covered...

The reason why I was looking into the Utah permit is the fact that NC is not a "shall issue" state. They leave the decision to the local sherifs departments and mine told me flat out they would not even give me a handgun permit since I am not a citizen. I don't have to be one according to the NC Department of Justice (the people that actually make/administer the law) but since the sheriffs get to make the rules if they say I have to be at least 8 feet tall and have to have eyes on the back of my head then that's how it is. Since I am indeed not a citizen I can't just make a fuss and probably get one anyway.

However if I acquired a CCW permit from Utah it should work since the CCW permit also "includes" the handgun permit from my understanding. Or at least having it would get me better shot at getting one. Is my understanding correct?

If this caveat does not apply to you, then you should be good to go for Virginia Non-Resident Permit:

"An alien other than an alien lawfully admitted for permanent residence in the United States."

With a Virginia Non-Resident, your list is comparable and includes South Carolina. Call me if you would like to see about a Virginia Non-Resident Permit.

Actually, the more I thought about my approach the more I relaized I would probably get an earful here because I might be mistaken on the CCW permit and what you can do with it as opposed to a normal handgun permit? Does a CCW permit allow you to acquire a handgun or do you need the handgun permit on top of the CCW permit?

That raises a good question about out of state permits. I know that if you have a NC Concealed Handgun Permit, then you are able to purchase without obtaining a "Purchase Permit" from your sheriff. I do not know about non-resident. I will know before close of business today.

(If a moderator is reading this thread, it might be practical to move it elsewhere.)
