I was at the opencarry website but it doesn't say anything about not being a resident and not being able to carry and all...
so I was curious. What states can you OC that you are not a resident of?
too bad FL doesn't have OC here :( I don't think we ever will either.

As far as I know, there is no residency requirement to open carry in any state that allows it.
The preceding post may contain sarcasm; it's just better that way. However, it is still intended with construction and with the Love of my L-rd Y'shua.

Yes. If you are visiting VA, anyone who is legally able to possess a firearm my OC a handgun.

Good question, I doubt that has even been considered by most lawmakers.

That is correct. All of a state's firearms laws regarding the carry and transportation of firearms will apply to non-residents as well as residents, with the exception that if you are travelling through a state and it is not your destination, you can transport your weapons according to 18 USC 926a (FOPA) and disregard the state's transport laws.

cool thx!
Kentucky.... As long as you are the ripe young age of 18, anyone can open carry.

In Georgia as long as you have a permit from a reciprocal state you can open carry. Some areas frown on it though. Other states that do not require a license for open carry should be no problems.

When you are in a state, you are expected to follow the rules of that state. This goes for vehicles, firearms, commerce.......
Make sure you check state and local laws first. If I'm not mistaken the city of Philly requires you have a CHP even for open carry.

In Michigan, that's a tricky question. Essentially, you can OC in Michigan, IF you have a permit to carry from your home state. This has more to do with our handgun registration laws, than anything else.

Of course I carry a gun, you would too if you were called "Big Gay Al."
IIRC Iowa is in the same boat, you have to have a permit to carry concealed or open.
IA does not recognize any other State's permit as well.

Yes. As I understand it, anyone who can legally possess a handgun in MI can open carry here. You cannot legally possess a handgun here without either getting a permit to purchase (effectively registering), or having a CCW permit from you HOME state. There might be another option or two, but I can't think of them off the top of my head.
