CCW State Law Comparisons - Permit Basics 3 (table of contents, next page)

Reciprocity:

Reciprocity or recognition is where one state will honor a permit to carry a concealed firearm issued from another state. In general, a host state will hold as valid, permits from other states:

  1. after reaching a formal agreement with the issuing authority of the other state; or
  2. by statutory recognition contained within their own statutes; or
  3. by assessment and approval by a cognizant state agency: Additionally, experiences of the states that allow reciprocity has been very favorable.

This study discovered that the number of states that are entering into formal reciprocal agreements has dramatically increased since 1996.

States without reciprocity are considered to be strict states.

Non-Resident Permits:

In addition to reciprocity, some states allow qualified persons who are not residents to receive concealed weapons permits for use while traveling within the host state. Prohibiting non-residents from getting carry permits is considered a strict provision. However, states that allow non-residents to apply for permits have been experiencing favorable results.

Conclusion:

Proposition B is rated as the third strictest for Permit Basics when compared to the provisions included in the other 30 states with right-to-carry concealed firearm laws.
