Who offers Non-Resident CCW permits?

[Amish_Bill]

What states offer non-resident CCW permits?
Include links, please.

Here's what I have to start the thread with....

PA
--- apparently the Centre County Sherrif has no problem with non-resident permits. (don't even asking about them from Allegheny)
http://county.centreconnect.org/sheriff/license_application.htm

NH
--- New Hampshire seems to be fairly easy... IF you already have a home-state license.

FL
--- Florida seems to have the best reciprocity of the states I'm familiar with.

Added from people's replies....


TX
--- Only seems to offer non-resident to people from states that do not offer resident permits.

MN
--- Minnesota doesn't seem to bad. You have to have MN approved training though.

Editted more 'cause I found the page that says it all....

My non-res NH permit looks like someone printed it up on their inkjet in the basement.

Believe it or not, apparently MA offers non-res permits...the application form comes with a complimentary tube of Astroglide.

PA requires you have a home-state permit if you want to get a non-resident CCW (the requirement is waived if your state doesnt have CCW, but may-issue state residents (like Maryland and Kali) are screwed). But, they do have reciprocity with Florida and accept non-resident Florida permits.

I think between Utah and Florida, you're covered for 30-ish states.

I just looked at the Texas site. Am I reading correctly when I understand it to say that only residents of certain states can apply for a non-resident permit? If so, I found it interesting that Washington DC is one of the few eligible states (CA of course, is screwed).

A Florida non-resident permit is good in 23 states. The only state you gain with a Utah permit is Virginia, for a total of 24.

If you notice, the states listed are those that do NOT issue permits at all. Ohio and NM are still listed, so its a little out of date.

BenW, Arizona recognizes CA CCWs

Not sure who else does?

 

[El Tejon]

AK, TN and IN (universal reciprocity), Skunky.

Ah, got ya. Thanks.

BenW, Arizona recognizes CA CCWs

Yeah, but that means I have to quit my job and move back home to Tulare County where I can actually GET a CA CCW -- that or move to your neck of the woods and commute 120 miles in each direction...

I was at one time exploring the non-resident thing myself to see what the possibility would be of getting non-resident CCWs that would have recipricosity with the states bordering CA, but there doesn't seem to be an option that would do that (unless you have a CA resident CCW).

MN does: Link to the statute

Subd. 2. Where application made; authority to issue permit; criteria; scope. (a) Applications by Minnesota residents for permits to carry shall be made to the county sheriff where the applicant resides. Nonresidents, as defined in section 171.01, subdivision 42, may apply to any sheriff.

Further...

(b) Unless a sheriff denies a permit under the exception
set forth in subdivision 6, paragraph (a), clause (3), a sheriff
must issue a permit to an applicant if the person:

(2) is at least 21 years old and a citizen or a permanent
resident of the United States;

(3) completes an application for a permit;

(4) is not prohibited from possessing a firearm under the

I can name them all:

Florida: Issues them by mail, via Department of Agriculture and Consumer Services. Shall Issue.

Connecticut: Issued by the Connecticut State Police, Special Firearms and license unit. Shall-issue. Issued by mail. You must have a license from another state in order to get one from CT.

Utah: Issued by the Bureau of Criminal Identification. Shall issue. Issued by mail.

Arizona: Issued by the Arizona DPS. Can be done by mail, but requires a training course to be done in the state of AZ. Shall-issue.

Oregon: Issued by the sheriff's office to residents of contigiuous states on a MAY ISSUE basis by law. They are, however, mailed.

Washington: Issued by Police Departments and Sheriffs. Shall issue. You must visit Washington to get a permit, but most places will mail it to you.

Nevada: Issued by the Sheriffs, except for Clark County which is issued by the LVMPD. Must have training within the state and must apply in person. Permits are mailed. Shall issue.

Texas: Only issued to residents of non-carry states. Shall issue, issued by TDPS.

Iowa: Issued by the Commissioner of Public Safety. May issue.

Minnesota: Minnesota Sheriffs can issue to any non-resident, you must have specific training in Minnesota law, but no requirement in having the training in state. Shall issue. Must apply in person.

Maryland: Yes, Maryland law allows the issuance of CCW's to residents. Don't count on getting on unless you're politically connected. Must apply in person.

New Jersey: Read Maryland.

Idaho: Issed by County Sheriffs, any county will do if you're a non-resident. Shall issue. Must apply in person.

Maine: Issued by the Maine State Police. Shall issue, and can be done by mail.

Massachusetts: Issued by the Mass State Police FRB. May issue, but if you can write a pretty good letter, they will issue ALP temporary non-resident permits for 1 year. It can be done all by mail. You must have a home permit unless you live in a state without CCW. Btw, if Astroglide is what they offer, that's gonna hurt.

Indiana: Issued by police and sheriffs there. Will be issued if you have a business or property in Indiana. You have to apply in person. No need for training. Shall issue.

Tennessee: Issues non-resident permits to those with places of employment. Issued by the Tennessee Department of Safety. Shall-issue.

Pennsylvania: Issues non-resident permits as long as you have a home state permit. Issuance policy varies widely. Some counties refuse to issue or put requirements on it (in flagrant disrespect and violation of the law). Some require you to apply in person. One, Centre County, will issue it all by mail.

North Dakota: Issued on a shall issue basis by the BCI. You do not have to apply in person, but you need training in ND permit law.

Rhode Island: Two methods, you can apply to the RI AG's office in person, or you can apply to any town or city if you have a permit from any other state and "shall issued" a permit. The law is modeled after CT and NH's law. However, a wide ranging illegal conspiracy occured over a decade ago by the police chiefs to simply keep the forms from no longer being available. This is being challenged by CRAL-RI, and a RI Supreme Court decision is expected soon on the AG's may issue power, and a further lawsuit is coming to finally force the PD's to comply with the law.
