GA cwp

[ra]

I am searching for the easiest way to get a non-resident CWP in Georgia. Currently an SC resident with CWP and we don't have reciprocity with GA.

A non resident NH was one way, I hear a UT might better these days.

Georgia doesn't offer a non resident license. You can get a Florida license and carry here. Unfortunately, SC doesn't allow the same option for Georgia residents to be able to carry in their state. SC offers a non-resident license only to property owners. So as a Georgia resident there is no way possible for me to legally carry in SC.

Having grown up in SC, with most of my family there, it's a sore point for me.

Georgia does not issue non-resident permits unless you are active duty military and stationed there (which is really stupid, because active duty military do not require the permit to carry open or concealed in Georgia). You will have to get a Florida and/or Utah non-resident permit that Georgia does honor.

Whoever you did your SC CWP with probably offers UT. I did my UT permit work at the same time as my SC just for this reason. That was one long day.

It would be much easier if there was a national CWP. Maybe some day.

Don't count on it. We have no idea what kind of crazy requirements the Federal government could come up with in order to obtain a CWP.

Does SC honor any non-res permits? I'm not sure they do

Nope.

Any ideas on how a GA resident who is a property owner in SC can go about getting a non-resident SC permit?
