What!? No reciprocity?!

[Blue]

Having my CCW permit in North Carolina I enjoy reciprocity in 30+ states.

I have perusing handgunlaw.us and see many states that do not honor any other states permits/licenses, while at the same time many of the other states honer theirs.

What gives here?

I would think that if a state feels that anothers requirements are equal to theirs and honors that states permits/licenses then both would have to honor in order to have true "reciprocity".

Come on guys, put the pressure on your states legislatures and get this inadaquacy and down right disrespect and avoidance of the 2nd Amendment corrected.

If a state won't honor my permit, I don't go there so they lose a chance at getting some of my money.
I have driven all the way around anti-gun states (as a matter of principle).

I've seen that Nevada's CCP is recognized in 19 states while Utah's is recognized in 31 states. No wonder everyone offers classes for Utah as well.

Florida does not recognize any state that does not recognize their CCL.

I get what the OP is saying. Fl recognizes GA. FL and SC have reciprocity. SC and GA cxant get it together. Its silly.

Oh well, time for an NH permit for me.

All carry permits are good here.

31 is the non-res. permit, if you have a resident permit, it is 34. I think only Tenn. is valid in more states, at 36 for a res. permit.

This issue is like most others that politicians get involved with; they screw it up.

Tell me about it. NY does not recognize any non-res permits, nor does it issue non-res permits. The only other states that I can carry in with the NY res permit are states that allow carry by resident permits from all 50.... like TN.

politicians are crooks, liars, and cheaters.

TN recognizes anyones permit, and because of that, last time I counted, TN is honored by more states than any other....

When I was still a LEO I was on a road trip and went to Maryland and then into Baltimore and DC. I was told that even though I was an officer I would still be arrested for CCW in their jurisdictions. That was 12 years ago and I can only imagine it now.

I think the legislators in the states that honor every other state permit (like TN and MO, I'm sure there are others) are thinking along the lines of "If we honor theirs, they may eventually honor ours." It also casts the widest possible net over states whose laws say "We will honor yours IF you honor ours."
