I am moving to Lousiana and they take 6 months before I can Carry but I was looking at Florida and they do not say you need to be a resident on their site. Can I get a Florida CCW from them to carry? Thanks Scott |

You can get a Florida CCW as a resident or a nonresident. A faster and cheaper alternative (for Louisiana) is New Hampshire. Only $20 for 4 years. You need a CCW from any other state though. Do you have a NM CCW? My only concern would be the Lousiana authorities honoring a nonresident license held by a Louisiana resident. webster.state.nh.us/safety/nhsp/plupr.html ETA: NH seems to turn applications around very quickly. It will probably take only a week or two mailbox to mailbox. |
| In MO you have to be 23, so a lot of 21 y/o's are venturing toward FL and strangely enough Utah. Utah is honored a lot of places, as is FL. It's called a non-resident permit for a reason; you don't have to be a resident. As far as legal issues, just make sure your state honors it and you will be fine. If anyone ever questions you having a permit from a state you don't live in, tell them you have business there. I'm just a young pup, but this year I will be getting my non-resident permit to carry me over until I'm 23 when I can get MOs permit, which I will do. Check out packing.org for their catalog of carry info by state. Good luck mate. |
| Bear in mind that in LA the car is an extension of your home so you may have a loaded weapon in your vehicle, so long as it is not concealed regarding a traffic stop. Granted it doesn't do you much good in aisle 4 of the quickie mart, but it does on your way over there at 2am. |
I guess it's time to update your profile. 
The NH nonresident license is honored in NH, AK, AL, CO, GA, ID, IN, KY, LA, MO, MS, NC, ND, OK, PA, SD, TN, UT, VT and WY. www.handgunlaw.us/documents/USReciprocity.pdf
Alabama also honors New Hampshire.
Do you have a Texas CHL by any chance? You can keep it when you move to Louisiana. |
