New Interactive Reciprocity Map

[dc dalton]

Just got the okay to post this from the mods so I wanted to show you what I think is the most powerful interactive reciprocity map on the internet today.

With a simple click of a mouse you can:

1. Add or remove states you have permits in

2. Change permits from resident to non-resident without having to clear the map

3. See information on what states that your permit(s) are valid in have duty duty to inform laws

4. See states that your permit(s) are valid in that have age limitations

5. See important information on limitations on permit holders for the states your permit(s) are valid in if there are any.

As an added bonus the map also has links that show you constitutional carry states along with shall issue and may issue states.

The map also has detailed instructions on how to use the map and get the most out of it, simply click on the question mark icon at any time to view them.

Great site! Thanks for sharing.

Good to see you active DC, been a long time.

dc dalton, thanks! I hadn't looked at one of these maps in a while. I didn't realize Ohio's covered so many states.

duty to inform

Could someone please explain how duty to inform laws work? Or just give a link. Thanks. (embarassed not to know)

Bill, I believe in most states, the duty to inform is when interacting with the law enforcement in their official capacity. You must inform them at the start you have a permit/license and are carrying.
So if you are pulled over and/or questioned by them, first thing out of your mouth needs to be your status.
But if you are in the same area as them and it is casual encounter, such as in a store, you don't.

States differ from one another.

It actually depends on the state but in general it means if you are stopped by law enforcement you must tell them you are carrying immediately.

One I know is Ohio, their laws specifically state when pulled over you must keep your hands on the steering wheel and inform the LEO immediately upon him getting to the car window.

) No person who has been issued a concealed handgun license shall do any of the following:

If the person is stopped for a law enforcement purpose and is carrying a concealed handgun, fail to promptly inform any law enforcement officer who approaches the person after the person has been stopped that the person has been issued a concealed handgun license and that the person then is carrying a concealed handgun;

From Ohio's 2923.12 (B) (1)

The requirement to inform a law enforcement officer is important and this information varies by state. Easy to get in trouble with this one. You have to look it up. It would be nice to have the "duty to inform" as a separate menu option. Added: Most will know the requirement for their own state, but seldom will know other states. Which is why this would be a great menu item (unless I missed it). Very nice website dc dalton. Lots of work.

Thank you all for the explanation of duty to inform. THR at it's best!

Nice map, but I have a couple of issues.

It shows that Colorado doesn't honor the enhanced Idaho resident permit, but does accept the regular resident permit. I don't believe that is true.

Also, it does not give you the option of selecting a non-resident permit for Oregon. Residents of contiguous states may get a permit from an Oregon sheriff if he agrees.

Seems to be a bit easier to use than Gary Slider's site, but it seems silly to duplicate the effort rather than working together. http://www.handgunlaw.us/ is the best overall reference I have found.

Here are the must notify states upon official contact with the LEO:

Alaska,Arkansas,Louisiana,Maine (when carrying with no CC permit),Michigan,North Carolina,Nebraska,Ohio,Oklahoma,South Carolina and Texas.

See www.handgunlaw.us

Of that list, I most need to remember the two Carolina's as I travel into those from time to time.

Two things. Selecting SC as permit state does not list Georgia as reciprocal.

Also, in SC you have to notify only when a LEO asks for identification.

When carrying a concealable weapon pursuant to Article 4 of Chapter 31 of Title 23, a permit holder must inform a law enforcement officer of the fact that he is a permit holder and present the permit identification card when an officer (1) identifies himself as a law enforcement officer and (2) requests identification or a driver’s license from a permit holder.

 

[Red Wind]

Don't worry. The SC LEO will ALWAYS ask for ID. Have it ready! SC traveler since 1947.

Here is a video from Sig Sauer Academy: "Concealed Carry: What to do When Stopped by Police - Shooting Tips from SIG SAUER Academy".

Thought it was put together straight forward.

Now what is needed is a travel map.
Indicate your home state and your destination; get an evaluation of the states in between.
Permit accepted, permit not accepted, repressive enforcement - detour.

I am going to be adding some new features in the near future and that might be a good idea. Can't hurt to have it twice

Good catch, we missed that one some how.

Also SC is already marked as a duty to inform state

thanks

Good catches on both, the map has been updated.
