Map key:

RED - Communist state that doesn't recognize any other state's permit, and doesn't issue permits to Texans.  Oregon (issues permits to neighboring states), California, New York, & Hawaii (hate the rest of America).
Dark GREEN - Non-resident permit necessary to pick up carry in a state that doesn't recognize Texas (Utah>Washington) or in a state that doesn't recognize anyone else (Illinois, NJ, DC, etc)  Maine & NH are green even though they have CC, would show red otherwise on this map.
Blue - recognize Texas, Utah (Washington), or Illinois (Minnessssoooota) permits.
Bright GREEN - your resident permit state. (Texas in my case)

From https://www.usacarry.com/concealed-carry-permit-reciprocity-maps/

https://www.usconcealedcarry.com/resources/ccw_reciprocity_map/ has some interesting info - Puerto Rico is issuing non-resident licenses.

As a Texan, w/o buying or renting property that I don't need, it looks as if I might can secure enough non-resident permits to carry in 46 states, DC, & Puerto Rico.

Looks as if there used to be a ferry direct from New Jersey to Martha's Vineyard, but doesn't look as if that route is running anymore.

I thought I read that Puerto Rico now recognizes CCW licenses from all states. I might have to go for a visit.

That doesn't appear to be the case given one of the links above.  PR can choose to recognize other LTCs - but hasn't done so yet.

Traveling with Handguns to Puerto Rico Not Quite Yet!

In terms of reciprocity, although the PRAA indicates that there is reciprocity with any valid U.S. state permit, there is a caveat that states that reciprocity will be allowed for each state, “once the NPPR Commissioner establishes a memorandum of understanding (MOU) with the state.” As of November 2021, it appears that no MOUs have been established.


Like the communist north east, you can get THEIR license to carry.

What state did you put in there to get NJ as reciprocity?

I am confused by Illinois being green.

"Only residents of states or territories of the United States that have laws related to firearm ownership, possession, and carrying, that are substantially similar to the requirements to obtain a license under the Firearm Concealed Carry Act (of Illinois) are eligible."

"Currently, the only states considered to be substantially similar are Hawaii, New Mexico, South Carolina and Virginia."

So you're a resident of Texas, but you're not? Genuinely curious if there's an angle here that others may be able to explore.

They're communist, but it appears they issue permits to non-residents.

https://www.usconcealedcarry.com/resources/ccw_reciprocity_map/nj-gun-laws/

Concealed carry is only legal with a NJ PCH. PCH are issued to residents and non-residents.

Interesting...they have changed what they consider "similar". One would have to wonder what would happen if they have a non-res permit based on the "similar" rule, then later, that state was dropped from the "similar" list.

Did Wisconsin in the USCCA map for you.  Doesn't look like you can get Illinois, or oddly, South Carolina.

Grey are your resident & non-resident carry permits.

Yellow & Green are your states where you can carry on your permits, or Constitutional Carry.

Red are Communist states & South Carolina that doesn't recognize Wisconsin, or non-resident permits.

Here's a question.  NY will give part-time residents carry permits.  Timeshare?  Seemingly would also work for South Carolina for states that SC doesn't recognize, like Wisconsin.  Lot of money for a state far away, but if you vacation there often (SC?) or travel through there often (NY?), then maybe a timeshare becomes worth it.  Hawaii?  California?

Your Texas plates like mine will get notice by NY cops. Not saying they will pull you over just because, but the plates do say something other than "Hi Ya'll" . I would find a plastic trim piece or other such dead space built into your vehicle that can snap in and out of place without trouble, and leave your pistol hidden in there. Before you enter Democrat commie lands, you pull over, put the gun away, and forget about it until you're back in the safe zone. If you look enough, just about every auto has a small plastic panel that will pop into place. If need be, you can use magnets or velcro to hold the trim piece firmly in place if the locking tabs get broken or weak. Unless you've got a really nervous demeanor about you, there is no reason why a cop would call in for dogs to sniff your car for ammo.

A NY permit is now useless with the new laws they swept through following the scotus decision.

"Sensitive places..." The list is endless and includes any place other than your own property that doesn't post a "guns welcome sign."

With that said most don't give a fuck anymore.

The only real reason?  To get carry permits.  

I grew up in a time & place when you couldn't even carry a pistol in your car, and I resorted to carrying an 870 Youth in 20 ga w/ a full choke, a Choate extension, Pachmayr 12 ga pistol grip I trimmed to fit the 20 ga frame, & #3 buckshot.  Now, if I jump through enough hoops, and pay enough fees, submit enough passport photos & fingerprints, I can conceal carry a pistol in 46 states, DC, & Puerto Rico.  It's been a sea change for concealed carry in half a century, and most of the change has happened in the last 30 years.

Would I like nationwide Constiutional Carry?  Of course I would  Should all states recognize my Texas LTC through the full faith & credit clause?  Of course they should.  But it's nice to know that I can protect myself almost anywhere I choose to travel in the US.
