| Will the new ccw law improvement help get more states to join in reciprocity with Ohio? PA,TX, GA? |
|
In a nutshell: No.
The issue at the heart of reciprocity is training requirements. States such as Ohio that require a 12 hr training regimen often will not enter into agreements with states that do not have mandatory training requirements. Reciprocity is one of the main reasons why states like Arizona that have constitutional carry still have a permitting system. |

Get a PA non-resident permit and you're good to go all the way to FL...TX as well...assuming you don't hit MS or AL.
http://www.usacarry.com/concealed_carry_permit_reciprocity_maps.html Well hell...PA doesn't do CCW applications via mail any longer (as of March, 2011). http://www.co.centre.pa.us/sheriff/license_application.asp It may be worth the drive, however. The other option is to get a New Hampshire or Utah non-resident permit. NH is pretty expensive these days and doesn't cover TX. Utah will get you pretty much everything you need (unless you travel to NH on a regular basis like I do.) http://publicsafety.utah.gov/bci/concealedfirearms.html Regards, Darren |

I drove to Erie PA last Tuesday to renew my non resident permit. It was easy, took less than 30 min and cost 20 bucks. Quoted:

That's what I plan to do. Nothing, but it's a bit expensive and a bit of a hassle with the fingerprint card, etc. |

FL does require fingerprint cards but is probably the most complete route. But it takes months. Utah is popular with PA residents as it allows them to carry in OH, but requires a UT certified instructor.
PA used to be two weeks by mail (I've had mine since before Ohio had CHL) but new applications and renewals now require a personal visit. Not sure when mine expires but I'll probably renew it as I get over into PA quite often. PA issues licenses to non-residents but doesn't have a Non-Resident Permit to my knowledge. Just looks like all the rest. You can carry in PA with your NH permit which is still just a check and a copy of your Ohio CHL. –– Chuck |
